Found this on the Enfamil website. Could easily be turned into a meatless meal by omitting the bacon!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb whole wheat pizza dough
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place spinach in microwave-safe bowl and microwave uncovered on high power (100%) for 3 to 4 minutes or just until thawed. Stir, then squeeze out moisture.
  • Place spinach back in bowl and add ricotta, Parmesan cheese, bacon, garlic, and salt; stir together thoroughly.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
  • On well-floured surface, roll each portion out into approximately a 6-inch circle. Place one-fourth of filling in center of each circle.
  • Moisten one half of edge with water and fold dough over filling, pressing edges together to seal. Cut several small slits in top of each to allow steam to escape.
  • Place calzones on prepared baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Let stand for several minutes to cool slightly.
  • Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
