My teenage daughter and I have been experimenting in the kitchen to re-create some old-time family dishes. This calzone with spinach and sausage is definitely a favorite. Using a refrigerated pizza crust, it’s a cinch to prepare one for us or several for a crowd. —Terri Gallagher, King George, Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

  2. Layer the spinach, sausage, mushrooms and cheese over sauce. Fold dough over filling; pinch seams to seal.
