Spinach Artichoke Calzones

I got this idea from doing Super suppers or Let's Dish..the calzones were great b/c you can make them ahead of time and freeze them or just do them the day off and they are so fast and easy and really yummy. Feel free to add your favorite meats or other veggies...I am just trying to do one non-meat dish a week. Trying...it is hard. I like my protein

2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
few pinches of grounded nutmeg
few pinches of grounded pepper
1/2 parmigian chees
1 package (10 oz) from chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry.
1 can (15 oz) quarted artichoke hearts in water, drained and coarsley chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tubed of prepared fridge pizza dough (10 oz cans)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups tomatoe, marinara, or pizza sauce, warmed for dipping.

1) Preheat over to 425 degrees

2) Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl to make the filling. Roll both tubes of pizza dough out on 2 seperate nonstick cookie sheets and cut each dough in half across.

2) Spread 1/2 cup mozzarella and up to 1/4 cup of filling in each rectangle. Work on just half of the surface of each rectangle of dough, then fold dough over top of filling and pinch edges firmly to seal.

3) Repeat process spacing calzones evenly on baking sheets, and bake 12-16 mins or until golden brown. Serve with warm tomatoe sauce, marinara, or pizza sauce.

Enjoy!
