Ingredients

Directions

  • Reduce tomatoes on low-medium heat for 7-8 minutes to thicken
  • Cook the sausage. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add sausage or beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add garlic, onion, and carrot; cook until fragrant.
  • Pour in reduced Delallo Crushed Tomatoes. Simmer 8–10 minutes until glossy and rich.
  • While it simmers, make the whipped cottage cheese. Blend cottage cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  • Assemble the dip. Spread the whipped cottage cheese into a 9x9 baking dish. Top with the warm Delallo marinara. Sprinkle mozzarella over top, leaving the center uncovered to allow for venting.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes on the lowest rack of the oven until bubbling and golden around the edges.
  • Add cheese to the center and bake an additional 5 min, and optionally broil for 1 min for an even more golden topping.
  • Serve Top with fresh basil. Serve with sourdough, pita chips, veggie dippers, or gluten‑free crackers
