Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, ground
1 cup portabella mushroom, diced
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits, 16 in total (Grands)
1 egg, mixed with 1 tbsp water for eggwash
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 cups marinara sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as you go along. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until sausage is done and no longer pink.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix well the ricotta, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Roll out each biscuit onto a lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin. Roll/flatten until double in size (6"-7" in diameter).
  • When sausage mixture is done, drain well on paper towels, patting down well to remove as much grease/oil as you can. Add to cheese mixture. Blending well.
  • To the rolls, place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the center, keeping away from the sides. Using a pastry brush, brush around HALF of the edges. DO NOT BRUSH ALL AROUND OR IT WILL NOT STICK TOGETHER.
  • Fold rolls in half over the filling (fold the un-brushed side onto the brushed side). Seal the edges by gently pressing the tines of a fork around the folded edge.
  • Place onto ungreased baking sheet (best to use parchment or a silpat underneath) Brush tops with remaining eggwash and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Using the tip of a sharp knife, pierce hole in top of calzones to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Let sit a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
16 whole frozen yeast dinner rolls (such as Rhodes®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound mild Italian sausage
1 ½ cups marinara sauce, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup sliced pepperoni

Steps:

  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place frozen rolls on top to thaw. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let thaw and rise, 3 to 5 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover rolls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sausage. Cook, breaking up as you stir occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup marinara sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
  • Pour remaining marinara sauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and stir. Continue to microwave until completely heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in parsley.
  • Slice rolls in half and place on a plate. Serve with the bowls of sausage mixture, marinara sauce, cheese mixture, and the pepperoni, layering as you please.

  • Serve the calzones immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
