Wondering if this is possible. I imagine it might taste gross. Was thinking of just using whole wheat ziti and then melting down a bunch of cottage cheese but I have no idea what melted cottage cheese tastes like, or if it really goes to the right consistency. Anyone ever tried something like this before? Would be pretty nutritious and low in fat.

why not use Kraft free cheese melted in some evaporated milk and a little olive oil for your sauce

cottage cheese doesn't melt.
If you want a melty cheese with good nutrition then get low fat fresh mozzarella. It's 20% pro, 5% carbs, 0.5% fat

Pizzas tend to use pizza mozz. not fresh mozz. Pizza mozz. is higher in sat fat. Also the base tends to have lots of salt and white flour in, as well as liberal quantities of extra grease and all the crap in the toppings.
But of course if you make your own pizza with wholemeal flour and fresh mozz. it's pretty healthy. Tasty too, once you get the hang of making proper bases.

I don't think you can buy them.
Learn to make bases though. It's not hard, it's only following a set of instructions. And home made pizza bases taste so much better.
