Categories     Bake     Quick & Easy     Pizza

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box (9 oz) Green Giant™ frozen chopped spinach
1/2 lb ground Italian sausage, browned and drained
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
16 oz refrigerated pizza dough
1 egg, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. 2 Cook spinach as directed on box; allow to sit a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Squeeze cooked spinach between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place spinach in large bowl. Add sausage, ricotta, mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan and the Italian seasoning to bowl; stir until well combined. 3 Divide pizza dough into 8 balls. Roll and press each ball into a circle 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Place meat mixture onto one half of each of the balls, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge. Fold dough over filling; pinch and roll edges to seal in filling. 4 Transfer to cookie sheet. Brush tops of calzones with egg. Prick tops of calzones with fork to allow steam to escape. 5 Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until dough is golden brown, topping with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese during last 3 minutes of baking. Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet. Serve warm with pizza sauce. 6 Freezer Directions: Make as directed through step 3. Place on cookie sheet, and freeze about 4 hours or until firm. Place frozen calzones in resealable plastic freezer bag, and freeze. When ready to cook, place calzones on cookie sheet, and brush with egg. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown, topping with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan during last 3 minutes of baking. Serve with pizza sauce.

These calzones were easy to make and turned out great! The filling was flavorful and the crust was crispy. I will definitely be making these again.

These calzones were a little dry. I think I should have added more sauce. The filling was good, but overall the calzones were just okay.

These calzones were easy to make and delicious! I used a pre-made pizza dough to save time, and the calzones still turned out great. The filling was flavorful and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again.

Not bad! I made these calzones for a party and they were a hit. The only thing I would change is to add more spinach. The filling was a little too heavy on the ricotta and sausage for my taste.

These calzones were so good! The crust was crispy and the filling was cheesy and flavorful. I used a combination of sweet and spicy sausage, which gave the calzones a nice kick. I will definitely be making these again.
