Recipe: Easy, Low-Calorie Mini Pizzas With Homemade Sauce

If there is one thing I refuse to give up when trying to eat better, it's pizza. I just kind of threw these little guys together in a matter of about 5 or 10 minutes and then stuck them in the oven for about 10 minutes. So easy and so, so delicious. Oh, and did I mention low-calorie? Yup, it's that too. 175 calories per bagel slice or for an entire serving size (both sides of the bagel), it's about 350 calories. Makes 3 servings.

Ingredients 
3 medium tomatoes
4 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Crushed red pepper flakes
Italian seasoning
Dried oregano
Dried basil
Fresh cilantro
100% Whole Wheat Bagel Thins
3/4 cup Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Italian Blend

* In blender or food processor combine tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh cilantro. Mix, but make sure it's still a bit chunky.

* Add in spices, mix, and taste. Repeat until you're satisfied.





* Spread sauce over bagel thins






* Top with cheese (1/4 cup is a serving size, so I suggest splitting that up between the 2 halves of the bagel)

* Put in oven at 375* for about 10 minutes or until cheese is slightly browned





Hope you enjoy! I know we did :)

***Note: if the sauce is still too thick while you're mixing it, add in a little water at a time***
