~easy calzones~

I love this calzone recipe! It's quick, easy, and filling-plus it looks gourmet. You can put pretty much anything you want inside calzones, but the recipe below has some of my favorite ingredients. Also, feel free to play around with the proportions to add as much or as little of ingredients as you like.

calzone

Ingredients:
Pillsbury pizza dough
Roughly 1/2 a jar of marinara sauce (reserve extra for dipping calzones in when baked)
a few handfuls of shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4C of cooked spinach
1/2C of green olives
3T pesto (this can be bought pre-made at most supermarkets)

Steps:
1. Grease cookie sheet, and pre-heat oven to 400
2. Roll out pizza dough and cut into 3 large rectangles
3. Layer marinara sauce and other ingredients onto half of each dough rectangle
4. Fold 2nd half of dough over to close, and press edges closed with fork
5. Take a knife and cut a small slit in the top of each calzone
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until calzones are golden brown
