Step 4

In a Large mixing bowl. Mix the Sausage mixture, spinach, cottage cheese, garlic,parmesan cheese,and mushrooms(if desired)
Step 5

Spread evenly down the center of the crescent sheet and top with the mozzarella cheese and the 3 slices of provalone down the center of the sausage,spinach mixture. Cut slits on edges of either side of the crescent about every inch or so, down the whole length of the sausage mixture and bring over the top so forms a braid. Bake at 400* for 24 min. This should easily feed 4 people but it's so good, they will surely want more.
