Ingredients
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
Preparation
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.
