Sausage and Basil Calzone

Sausage and Basil Calzone

serves 4

1 recipe pizza dough (store-bought dough works beautifully here)

1 cup Newman’s Own Marinara (or your favorite red sauce)

1 cup mozzarella

1 cup cooked sausage

a few basil leaves, roughly torn

¼ cup olive oil

Pre-heat the oven to 450*

Divide the dough in four equal portions and create a rough circle. Flatten out to about ¼ – ½ inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin. In the center of each dough round add a couple of tablespoons of sauce, some cheese, sausage, and a couple of torn up pieces of basil. This is what I happened to have on hand, feel free to use what you find in the fridge.

Brush a little bit of the olive oil along the edge of the dough. Pull one side of the dough over the filling to reach the other side. Seal the edges and brush the top of the calzone with olive oil. Place on a parchment lined sheet tray or directly onto a pre-heated pizza stone, if you have one.

Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Let cool slightly as the inside will remain very hot for quite awhile. Serve warm along side a simple salad.
