Spinach Calzone

I used Trader Joes whole wheat pizza dough. You could use any store bought pizza dough or even make your own homemade pizza dough.

olive oil
6 oz. fresh baby spinach
salt and pepper for seasoning
ground beef
crushed red pepper flakes for seasoning
italian seasoning
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar of marinara sauce
pizza dough
shredded mozzarella
shredded parmesan

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil.

In a large sauté pan, drizzle with oil olive and heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, garlic and season with red pepper, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Brown and crumble ground beef until just about cooked through. Add marinara sauce and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes.

While sauce is cooking, flour a flat surface and roll out individual pieces of dough into the desired sizes for your calzone.

Place a piece of dough on a portion of the baking sheet and top with sauce, shredded mozzarella and parmesan. Fold other half of dough over the filled side and seal sides. Repeat with all pieces of dough.

Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes. Serve and ENJOY!!!!
