Worthy of a Special Occasion

Refrigerated pizza dough makes this easy to put together. Spoon warmed bottled marinara sauce over the calzones before serving, or serve sauce on the side.

Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 calzone)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  part-skim ricotta
  • 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1  teaspoon  dried basil
  • 1/2  teaspoon  fennel seed, crushed
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1  (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
  • 3  ounces  lean ham, chopped
  • 6  oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, drained and chopped
  • 1  (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Combine first 9 ingredients.

Divide dough evenly into 5 pieces; pat each dough piece into a 5-inch circle. Spoon about 1/2 cup spinach mixture onto half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold dough over filling until edges almost meet. Bring bottom edge over top edge; crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Place calzones on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 14 minutes or until browned.
