Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab two oven-safe ramekins or small baking dishes (6-8 oz capacity each).

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well incorporated or blend in a food processor for 10-15 seconds for an ultra-smooth base.

Divide the mixture evenly between the two ramekins, spreading it to the edges. The mixture should fill each ramekin about three-quarters full.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each bowl, then add your favorite pizza toppings, using about 1/4 cup total toppings per bowl. If using raw vegetables or uncooked meat, cut them small or briefly pre-cook them.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted with golden spots forming on the edges and the toppings are cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before eating. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. For a crispy top, place ramekins 6 inches from the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
