Preparation

In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine, then set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, diced bell peppers, and pepperoni. Fold in the seasoning blend.
Pour the mixture into an oven-safe bowl and spread evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and edges bubble.
Broil on high for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden finish, being careful not to burn.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
