Spinach Artichoke Calzone

Submitted by UW4Life

"Taken from 30 minutes meals on the Food Network. Makes 4 calzones, but half a calzone is usually enough for 1."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 cups skim milk ricotta cheese
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
• 1 (15 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 (10 ounce) cans of refrigerated pizza dough
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups tomato sauce

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Roll each pizza dough out on a cookie sheet, and halve each cross-wise.
3. Spread 1/2 cup mozzarella and up to 1/4 of filling on each rectangle.
4. Work on just half of the surface of each rectangle of dough, then fold dough over top of filling and pinch edges firmly to seal. If your dough tears, remove a little of the filling and repair.
5. Bake the calzones for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown all over.
6. Serve calzones with warm tomato or pizza sauce for dunking.

We skipped going to the pizza parlor tonight, so I made these instead.....what a homemade treat! I'd leave out the nutmeg next time and probably try to add a little more mozzerlla cheese in each. We really enjoyed them and they were like what what we buy out, but less fattening! Thanks for a neat recipe.

The filling was very tasty! The only thing I did differently was I rolled out my dough and made several smaller ones. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Wonderful recipe, very tasty and gives the same happy satisfaction as a pizza without all the calories. I made the pizza dough from scratch and added only 1 cup of the ricotta and it came out delicious.
