I have found that refrigerated pizza dough is too sticky so I've made these using full sheet crescent rolls. Always a hit and very easy to put together.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"06\/04\/2012 15:53","GUID":"4b7ca5bcdfeb44798b4867b49da29493","MemberId":1189790,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"ezondii","SubmittedDate":"06\/04\/2012 15:53"},{"Comment":"
Very tasty! I did not use the optional shredded parmesan on top; thought there was enough cheese inside. Also did not use the optional dried basil on top, did however use fresh italian parsley inside the calzone.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"03\/16\/2012 19:58","GUID":"d630eed87ca84dc0a80112e04a2cf3de","MemberId":6410537,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kcc1108","SubmittedDate":"03\/16\/2012 19:58"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"03\/09\/2012 22:55","GUID":"d3c047dc3ef84843b2af46f7c257ebbc","MemberId":5432192,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lizanne97","SubmittedDate":"03\/09\/2012 22:55"},{"Comment":"

In this instance cream cheese and maybe a little cheddar would absolutely be an acceptable substitute.<\/span><\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"","GUID":"3A81F09940C98B1066D3A8345B0F08C6","MemberId":158954,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"sstetzel","SubmittedDate":"01\/31\/2012 14:39"},{"Comment":" can I use something other than ricotta cheese? and if so, what?

Very easy & quick...nice way to use the leftover ham after the Holidays. I even used my own pizza crust recipe...and added fresh Basil to the filling. Authentic Calzone - always has ricotta cheese - yum. Next time I make it, I am going to try meatballs in place of the Ham. There are many variations you can try!

This makes the crust very tender. Fry until golden brown -you may have to flip the Ponseratti to get both sides brown (and poke fork holes in the top before frying). Then I use my favorite Pizza sauce to ladle over the top. Yummy! Learned this way of doing it from an old time friend and Italian chef.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"12\/27\/2011 10:01","GUID":"9e65fcb6d0ee49a398263cf84fde9793","MemberId":1611645,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"martimor","SubmittedDate":"12\/27\/2011 10:01"},{"Comment":" I made them with prerolled puff pastry instead. Also first spread a tablespoon of spaghetti sauce then the order of filling. I sprinkled basil ontop of the filling and parmesan on top of the pastry once I fold it over.

This recipe reminded me of what we used to call salami rolls. I used provolone cheese, salami, sliced onions, chopped green olives and some diced jalapeno peppers. The suggestion of topping it with the parmesan and basil was a good one and they turned out beautifully. This recipe would be so easy to change depending on what you have in the fridge.
