calzone

Calzone with Salsa de Rosa

Serving size: 2 big calzones

Prep time: 45 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

OMG — calzone!

Ingredients

  • A doughball. We like Benny’s
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • Small can of tomato paste
  • Pepperoni, sausage or like meat
  • Mushrooms, peppers, onion, jalapeno and/or spinach
  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 16oz Salsa de Rosa

Instructions

Simmer onion, jalapeno, and Salsa de Rosa on low-medium heat for 20 minutes.

Mix in the tomato paste, other ingredients, and meat of choice. Simmer on medium heat until most of the liquid cooks off. Feel free to also drain a bit of the oil from the pan.

Split your doughball into two even blobs. Roll both into ovals. Add cheese, sauce, and any other toppings on half of each oval. Fold bare sides of ovals over full sides, covering completely. Poke small holes in the top of each calzone for venting and potential overflow.

Bake on 425 for 20 minutes or until the top turns dark brown. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve topped with cheese, sauce, and/or garnish.
