Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Combine cottage cheese, eggs, half of the mozzarella, and seasonings in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamy.

Repeat the layering process, finishing with the rest of the cottage cheese blend.
Pour remaining pasta sauce over the top layer and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
