Whether we're at home in Alaska, or at our winter home in Nevada, I try to make Spinach Calzones whenever our family is together for the holidays. They're a little time consuming to make; but so good, and just pure comfort food.
Enjoy!
Spinach Calzones
Ingredients:
2 cups part-skim low moisture ricotta cheese
Dash of salt
3 Tbsp. shredded parmesan cheese
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 jar (7oz.) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 - 3" diameter pie crust dough balls (for simplicity, I sometimes use Krusteaz Pie Crust Mix)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar marinara sauce (I like Newman's Own)
Instructions:
- Combine ricotta, salt, parmesan cheese, spinach, roasted peppers, and garlic in a medium bowl.
- Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Roll dough balls out into thin circles on a lightly floured cutting board.
- Top each rolled out dough circle with a mound of the spinach mixture.
- Then top each mound with mozzarella cheese, allowing a 3/4" margin to the edge.
- Stretch pizza dough over top of mound and pinch edges to seal, forming a half-moon shape. Prick with fork.
- Arrange calzones on cookie sheet and bake in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Heat sauce in pan.
- Serve calzones with marinara sauce.
