Ricotta And Spinach Calzones

A cheesy ricotta and spinach vegetarian calzone to substitute into your pizza routine!


I used my favorite pizza dough recipe and stuffed them with all the yummy ingredients they recommend and they turned out perfectly! I’m in complete favor of the meatless calzone because you don’t get all the unnecessary grease from the meat soaking into your calzone bread — it’s just a lighter, but still filling meal!
