An inviting first course would be grilled or roasted vegetables tossed with olive oil and arranged on a platter with olives and spicy peppers. Buy some tiramisu for dessert.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese (about 2 ounces)
1 cup (packed) grated Fontina cheese (about 4 ounces)
All purpose flour
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix spinach, onions, ricotta, Gorgonzola and then Fontina in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Sprinkle heavy large baking sheet with flour. Unfold dough on prepared sheet. Gently stretch and/or roll dough to 11-inch square; cut in half diagonally, forming 2 triangles. Place half of filling in center of each triangle. Fold 1 side of each triangle over filling, forming 2 triangular calzones. Press edges of dough to seal. Cut 3 slits in top of each to allow steam to escape.

    Step 3

    Bake calzones until golden brown, about 15 minutes; serve hot.
