1-1/3 lbs bulk Italian sweet sausage

2 c ricotta cheese
a handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped

a handful of grated Parmesan cheese
a few grinds of freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425.

Brown sausage in the olive oil. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Combine sausage, with ricotta cheese, parsley, garic, Parmesan, pepper and pimiento. Roll tubes of pizza dough out on 2 separate non-stick cookie sheets and cut each in half across.

Spread 1/2 c mozzarella cheese and 1/4 filling on each rectangle, then fold dough over the top of filling and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat.

Bake calzones for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with sauce.
