Yield
Ingredients
10 ingredients- 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup low-sugar marinara sauce, divided
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, plus more for topping
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives, divided
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, divided
- 1/4 cup diced onion, divided
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Method
8 steps- Preheat the oven to 425°F or approximately 220°C.
- Combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan, 1/4 cup of the marinara sauce, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Stir half of the black olives, bell pepper and onion into the cottage-cheese mixture.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two oven-safe bowls.
- Top each bowl with the remaining marinara, mozzarella, olives, bell pepper and onion. Add another sprinkle of Italian seasoning and the optional red pepper flakes.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until hot and bubbling. For additional browning, place the bowls under the broiler for approximately 1 minute.
- Alternatively, microwave each assembled bowl for 1 1/2–2 minutes, until piping hot and the cheese has melted.
- Let the bowls cool briefly before serving with a spoon or optional vegetables, crackers or pita chips for dipping.
