Enjoy your day date tomorrow!

Sure!

Homemade Calzones

(Makes about 8-10 calzones)

Two cans of refrigerated pizza dough
About 1 cup of ricotta
About 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
About 1/4-1/3 cup grated parm
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
2-3 Italian sausage links, cooked and crumbled
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper. Open dough and cut into about 8 triangles total (adjust size to your liking, but leave room to fold the dough over the filling). Mix all ingredients in a bowl to make filling. Put about 1/4-1/3 cup of filling in each triangle and fold, then pinch to close (you know, make it look like a calzone pocket). Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

To freeze, bake then cool to room temperature and flash freeze. Put in a plastic bag. To reheat, place frozen calzone on baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until hot.

Serve with marinara.

I've made these with veggies, pepperoni, meatballs, just cheese... All good!

I made it up as I went, so you may want to adjust the amounts to your preferences.

You can also put the filling in a baking dish, top it with marinara, and bake it at 350 until bubbling, like a hot dip. Serve with bread for dipping.
