Using convenient frozen meatballs and prepared pie pastry, this heart sandwich is a great time-saver. To add crunch and color, drop in roasted red or green pepper strips. From TOH. Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package frozen fully cooked meatballs, thawed |
2 cups pizza sauce |
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
3/4 cup ricotta cheese |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1 egg white |
2 teaspoons water |
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie pastry |
additional pizza sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat meatballs according to pkg. directions. In a large saucepan, heat pizza sauce; stir in meatballs. In a small bowl, combine the cheeses and basil. In another bowl, whisk the egg white and water; set aside.
2. Unroll one pastry onto a greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Spoon half of meatball mixture onto half of the pastry to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Top with half of cheese mixture. Fold dough over the filling, forming a half circle. Moisten edges with water; press with a fork to seal. Brush top with egg mixture. Repeat with remaining pastry, meatball mixture and egg mixture.
3. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut each calzone into three wedges. Serve with additional pizza sauce if desired.
