Weekly Recipe: Ham, Spinach, and Sundried Tomato Calzones

Another recipe that utilizes Trader Joe's pizza dough!  This was better than I thought it would be.  I served it with Trader Joe's pizza sauce for dipping.  I also used Canadian bacon instead of ham, just cause we happened to have some in the fridge...and I accidentally omitted the parmesan, but it was still good.



Ham, Spinach, and Sundried Tomato Calzones
1 cup part-skim ricotta


3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed,
drained, and squeezed dry


3 ounces lean ham, chopped

6 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, drained and chopped

1 refrigerated pizza crust dough

Cooking spray



Preheat oven to 450°.



Combine first 9 ingredients.



Divide dough evenly into 5 pieces; pat each dough piece into a 5-inch
circle. Spoon about 1/2 cup spinach mixture onto half of each circle, leaving a
1/2-inch border. Fold dough over filling until edges almost meet. Bring bottom
edge over top edge; crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Place
calzones on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 14
minutes or until browned.



Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1
calzone)
