  • ¼ cup marinara sauce low sugar
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 6 –8 slices turkey pepperoni or regular
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Optional: red pepper flakes olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers

Instructions

  • Spoon the cottage cheese into a microwave-safe bowl and spread it evenly. Drain off excess liquid if it looks watery.
  • Add the marinara sauce on top and spread into a thin, even layer.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce, covering the surface.
  • Layer pepperoni and any extra toppings like mushrooms or olives without overcrowding.
  • Season with Italian seasoning and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Let sit for 1–2 minutes before serving so it thickens slightly and cools down.
