I belonged to Weight Watchers many years ago and in 1987, members received
a calendar with a good recipe for each month. I have made this recipe
which is nourishing and filling and easily adapts to your own
toppings. I've made some adaptations and here is my amended recipe.
3/4 C. all purpose flour
l tsp. double acting baking powder
3 T. stick margarine
2 eggs
2/3 C. low fat cottage cheese or regular=20
1/2 C. pizza sauce
2 C. lightly blanched fresh spinach (New Zealand type is good),
squeezed dry and chopped.
4 oz. shredded Mozarella cheese
1 T. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375 F
In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Add margarine and mix
with a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat eggs and cottage cheese with a fork or wire shisk
until blended. Mixture will be lumpy. Stir into dry ingredients. Place
mixture in a 10" pie plate that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking
spray. Spread pizza sauce over dough evenly leaving a 1/2 " border around
the edges. Add the spinach attractively over the sauce, then sprinkle with
Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before
cutting.
This same dough base makes a good foundation for a summer dessert such as
sliced fresh peaches sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar or fresh Damson plums.
