Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 ounces baby arugula (8 cups packed)
6 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese (2/3 cup)
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated
2 tablespoons finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb frozen pizza dough, thawed

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. Add arugula and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain arugula and remove as much water as possible, then coarsely chop.
  • Stir together ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, yolk, salt, and pepper until blended. Stir arugula into mixture.
  • Quarter pizza dough, then roll out each piece into an 8-inch round with a rolling pin. Put one fourth of cheese filling (about 1/3 cup) in center of 1 round and fold dough in half to enclose filling and form a semicircle. Press edges together to seal.
  • Beginning at 1 end and working toward the other, stretch sealed edge outward, pinching and rolling edge to form a rope, and transfer to baking sheet. Make 3 more calzones in same manner, transferring to baking sheet.
  • Bake calzones until golden and puffed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my calzones turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked them.

These calzones were a great way to use up some leftover arugula. They were also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

These calzones were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I loved these calzones. The ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese helped to balance out the bitterness of the arugula.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my calzones didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dough was too thick and the filling was bland.

The dough was a little too thick for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I'll try rolling the dough out thinner next time.
