Easy Spinach Calzones


By Amee's Savory Dish (Visit website)





This is a fast and easy way to make delicious calzones!

I love this meatless version dipped in marinara sauce. I just heat up a jar of organic marinara to serve on the side.  You can make the filling a day ahead and assemble very quickly before dinnertime. Enjoy~



Ingredients:


8 oz low-fat ricotta cheese

1 egg

1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cups (packed) fresh spinach
½ cup chopped, fresh mushrooms
1/3 sweet onion, finely chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 container Pillsbury simply French bread dough


Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.   In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add onions and mushrooms and cook until soft.  Add spinach and garlic and cook until all spinach is wilted.  Drain, cool and set aside.




In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.  I LOVE my salad shooter for shredding cheese!  It takes only a few seconds to shred a whole block of cheese with this thing and my arm doesn't get tired (like the old fashion graters).  This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets.   


Add cooled spinach mixture to cheese mixture and blend. 


Roll out the Simply bread dough (with a rolling pin) to form a large rectangle.  Cut into 6 even slices with a pizza cutter. 



Spoon about ½ cup filling into each square.   


Fold over and seal the edges.  Place onto a greased cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. 


Brush each calzone with a little olive oil and bake for 30-35 minutes or until nicely browned on tops and bottoms. 


Serve with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.  Kids love to eat their spinach this way!


*If you have a little more time, you can make your own dough using Fleischmann's pizza crust yeast following the package directions.  It is specially formulated for pizza crust.  You can find it on my blog under Easy Homemade Pizza.
