Unroll pizza crust dough; fold corners of dough toward center and pat or roll into a 10-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray; flute edges. Sprinkle provolone cheese over bottom of crust. Top with zucchini mixture; set aside.
Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add cottage cheese and garlic pulp and process until smooth. Add milk and eggs; process 30 seconds. Pour over zucchini mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
