Spinach and Three-Cheese Calzones

Preheat oven to 425, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Thaw a 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible.

In a medium bowl, mix the spinach with 1 cup part-skim ricotta, 1 cup shredded fontina, 1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, and pepper to taste.

Slice a 13.8 8oz tube refrigerated pizza dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls, and stretch or roll out on a lightly floured surface to roughly 5-inch circles. Arrange 3 circles on each baking sheet.

Divide the spinach mixtures into 6 equal portions, and spread on one side of each circle, leaving a 1/2 inch border, then fold the dough over the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a 1 inch vent in each, and bake until golden, about 14 minutes.

Serve with marinara for dipping.
