Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed 4 garlic cloves, chopped 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes Flour, for rolling dough 2 packages (1 pound each) balls fresh or frozen pizza dough, thawed if frozen 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 cups shredded (6 ounces) part-skim mozzarella cheese Coarse salt and ground pepper Prepared tomato sauce (optional) 1 medium red onion, finely chopped

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add broccoli, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Form calzones: Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, stretch each piece out, first to a 3-by-4-inch oval, then stretch again, this time to a 6-by-8-inch oval. (Let dough rest a few minutes if too elastic to work with.)

Stir cheeses into cooled broccoli mixture; season generously with salt and pepper. Assemble calzones: Spread a rounded 1/2 cup broccoli mixture over half of each piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; fold over to form a half-moon. Press edges to seal. With a paring knife, cut 2 slits in the top of each calzone.

Using a wide metal spatula with a thin blade, transfer calzones to 2 baking sheets lined with parchment or waxed paper; reshape if needed.

Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce, if desired.

Cook’s Notes To freeze: Prepare recipe through step 3. Tightly wrap each calzone in plastic; freeze until firm. Transfer calzones to resealable plastic bags; label and date. Freeze up to 2 months. To serve, unwrap calzones, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets; bake without thawing until golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/23/2014   Love this recipe! It is a go to in my house that we all love. I buy dough, steam some fresh broccoli and use some store bought sauce. Really tasty!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/24/2012   These are so good and super easy. I thought they might need something else to add some oomph, but they are great just as is. I used a jarred tomato and basil pasta sauce for dipping and it was delicious.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/07/2010   Great recipe! Though I actually made this with only 1 package of broccoli and a 9 oz pack of Italian chicken sausage, sliced. It was delicious, and fun to make.
