Recipe Intro From lisathompson

Say goodbye to messy lunches with this DIY pizza bagel hack! Instead of regular pizza sauce, use Red Gold Tomato Paste for a thicker, more flavorful spread that clings perfectly to the bagel. Season with a pinch of salt and oregano for extra flavor, then pack it up in a bento box along with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni (or a meatless option), and some fresh fruit for a fun, balanced meal that’s easy to assemble and eat.
