Preparation

Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and mix well.
In a larger mixing bowl, mix the cottage cheese and marinara sauce until smooth. Add diced bell pepper and pepperoni, then stir in the seasoning blend, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe bowl. Top with mozzarella cheese and additional pepperoni if desired.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Switch to broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes for a golden top, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
