  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Move oven rack to the second highest from the top.
  2. Lightly spray a 10-inch oven safe skillet with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, Pecorino, spinach, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Add sausage to a skillet, breaking it up in small pieces with a wooden spoon over medium heat and cook, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  5. Add the egg mixture to skillet and cook 1 minute to let the bottom set.
  6. Bake in the oven until the top is set, about 16 to 18 minutes.
  7. With a spatula, carefully slide frittata out of the skillet onto a cutting board and cut into 4 wedges.
  8. Serve with salad and whole grain bread, if desired.
