Prepare kaizen ziti according to package directions. Boil 1-2 minutes less than recommended, as the ziti will cook a bit more in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine: cottage cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/8 cup fresh parsley, 2 tbsp pesto. Mix and set aside.
In a baking dish, add 1 cup of sauce. Add pasta & gently stir.
Spread cottage cheese mixture on top of pasta. Then cover with remainder of sauce.
Top with remaining cup of mozzarella, fresh parley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bake at 400F approx 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve & enjoy!
