A great week night meal that I enjoy making are calzones.  These calzones are easy to assemble, require few ingredients, and easily a family favorite!

Here's what you will need:

-1 whole wheat pre made pizza dough ball

-16 oz skim milk ricotta cheese

-1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

-1 egg

-1 cup mozzarella cheese

-2 cups fresh broccollini (baby broccoli)

2 tablespoons olive oil

-Salt

-Pepper

-Italian Seasoning

-Marinara for dipping

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 425

-Cut pizza dough into two equal balls

-Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness

-Then, combine ricotta, Parmesan cheese, cracked egg, salt & pepper into a bowl, and mix well

-Steam baby broccoli, then drain

 -Add half of the cheese mixture onto one side of rolled out dough

-Add broccoli, and top with mozzarella

-Fold over, and gently crease and close edges with a fork

-Create three small slits into top of calzone for venting

-Brush top with 1 tablespoon of olive oil

-Bake for 15 -20 minutes until crust is golden brown

-Serve and enjoy!
