Ingredients

 

1 16-ounce loaf frozen bread dough, thawed

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

1 slightly beaten egg

1 15-ounce carton low-fat ricotta cheese

3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Nonstick cooking spray

1 8-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

 

Directions:

 

1. Divide bread dough into 8 equal pieces. Place on a floured surface and

cover dough with a towel. Let dough rest while preparing filling.

2. For filling, in a small covered saucepan cook onion and garlic in a small

amount of boiling water until onion is tender. Drain. Stir in spinach and

the 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. In a bowl stir together egg, ricotta

cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

3. Roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch circle. Spread 2 tablespoons of

the spinach mixture over half of each circle, spreading to within 1/2 inch

of edge. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Moisten edges of dough with

water. Fold each circle in half, pinching edges or pressing edges together

with a fork. Prick tops with a fork. Lightly coat an extra large baking

sheet with nonstick cooking spray; place calzones on sheet.

4. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan stir together tomato sauce, the 1/2 teaspoon

Italian seasoning, and the garlic salt. Heat through over medium heat. Serve

with calzones. Makes 8 servings.
