April 2009--Three Cheese Calzones

THREE CHEESE CALZONES

I love recipes that look fancy but are super fast and easy to make. Kameron loves these calzones; he asks me to make them all the time.

Yield: 4 Calzones

1 (10 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough

1 (15 oz) can pizza sauce

1 c. (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 c. (4 oz) non-fat or part skim ricotta cheese

1/4 c. (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese

Any vegetables you would like to add. I usually dice up some green pepper, mushrooms, and onion.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. Unroll pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into four equal portions. Press or roll out each portion into a 6" or 7" circle.

Spread 2 TB of the pizza sauce onto each circle within 1/2" of the edge. Favoring one side, top each with 1/4 c. mozzarella, 2 TB ricotta, 1 TB Parmesan, and vegetables. Fold over the other side, pressing edges tightly to seal. Cut three slits in the dough on top of each calzone. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. While the calzones are baking, warm the rest of the pizza sauce and serve over the calzones.
