Ricotta and Spinach Calzone
Filled with a mixture of creamy ricotta and sautéed spinach and onions, these calzone are fun to eat out of hand. Or, if you like, outfit diners with knives and forks and serve them with a side of tangy marinara sauce for dipping, just like you might find at a classic Italian American pizzeria.
