Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 oz baby arugula (8 cups packed)
6 oz whole-milk ricotta (2/3 cup)
3 oz whole-milk mozzarella, coarsely grated
2 tablespoonsfinely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb frozen pizza dough, thawed
Special Equipment
an oiled 17- by 12-inch heavy baking sheet

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, stirring frequently, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a sieve and press hard on arugula to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible, then coarsely chop.
  • Stir together ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, yolk, salt, and pepper until blended, then stir in arugula.
  • Quarter 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. 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. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before serving.

These calzones are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the ricotta and arugula filling, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

These calzones are a great value. They're inexpensive to make and they yield a lot of food. I was able to feed my family of four for under $10.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I really enjoyed these calzones. The ricotta cheese mellowed out the bitterness of the arugula and the dough was perfectly cooked.
