Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lb homemade pizza dough or store-bought dough for 3 pizzas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 cup chopped cooked sausage
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F. Divide pizza dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each into 8-inch round disk.
  • To make filling, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add spinach; continue to cook about 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • In large bowl, mix cooked sausage, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, nutmeg, pepper and onion-spinach mixture.
  • To make each calzone, place filling in center of dough round. (Resist the temptation to overfill the dough.) Fold dough over; press edge and twist to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut calzones in half to serve.
