Yummy Dinner

So I'm back in the office after a three-day work trip to Harrisburg last week. A few photos from that to come.

We had a nice weekend of relaxing and hanging out with friends. Last night I made this dinner from a recipe from Real Simple. Mark & Kristi bought me a one-year subscription for Christmas, and my step-mom, Barbara, bought me a second year's subscription. (Thank you!) It was easy and delicious. Oh how I love that magazine.

Hands-On Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

1 lb. refrigerated pizza dough (When I don't feel like making dough from scratch, I like to use a mix from the grocery store that you simply mix with water. Wal-Mart has cheap packages for around 60 cents, but I hate Wal-Mart. Martin's has a Betty Crocker mix for about a dollar.)

1 cup fresh ricotta

1 cup grated mozzarella (4 oz.)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 oz.)

1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed and roughly chopped (5 cups)

black pepper

1/4 lb. thinly sliced salami

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup jarred marinara sauce, warmed

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into four equal portions and roll and stretch them into 8 inch rounds.

2. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

3. Layer the salami on one side of each round of dough and top with the cheese mixture. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.

4. Brush the tops of the calzones with the oil. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with the sauce.

Mmm.
