Pour the marinara sauce over the cottage cheese layer, spreading it evenly.

Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your high-protein, low-carb Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl!
