Spinach Calzone with Two Cheeses
Serves 4 to 6
Even though Artz constructs this calzone to feature his homemade
sourdough, ricotta, mozzarella, and hot sauce, as well as his
homegrown spinach and garlic, make things easier on yourself. The
dough can be made from scratch using the recipe (which Artz
contributed to), but it works equally well with store-bought pizza
dough. As for the cheese and spinach and garlic, use store-bought
and you will still be very satisfied. This is a monster of a calzone
—humongous!—that can easily feed a family of four on a
weeknight. In the spirit of Artz, serve a bit of homemade hot sauce
(see his recipe, opposite) on the side. And if you want to make all
the other elements by yourself, too, by all means do so.8 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves (or an equal amount of
frozen spinach, defrosted)
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
½ cup fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 egg
2 teaspoons West Indies–Style Hot Sauce
2 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 round of pizza dough, preferably homemade
