Dinner: 10-minute Calzones (4 servings)

Ingredients:

1 one pound bag frozen pizza dough, thawed
1 six ounce package pepperoni, chopped (or cooked Italian sausage, crumbled)
1 cup ricotta
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 16-ounce jar pasta sauce, such as marinara
Grated Parmesan

Instructions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the dough into quarters and shape into 4 balls. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the pepperoni, ricotta, and mozzarella.
Roll or pull each dough ball into a 7-inch circle.
Spoon 1/4 of the pepperoni filling onto the center of each.
Fold over and pinch the edges together.
Place on a baking sheet and brush with the oil.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden.
Meanwhile, heat the sauce, then spoon it over the calzones. Top with the Parmesan cheese.

Notes:

Prepare calzones on the baking sheet as they can be delicate and flimsy.
