Meatball Calzones

Here is a new recipe I just tried from the magazine "Taste of Home." It was really yummy! Next time I think, I will just use Pizza dough instead of Refrigerated Pie Crust.=) The pie crust kept falling apart...anyway, here it is:

1 package (12 oz) frozen fully cooked meatballs, thawed
2 cups pizza sauce
1 cup (4oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 egg white
2 teaspoons water
1 package (15 oz) refrigerated pie pastry
Additional pizza sauce, optional

Heat meatballs according to package 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.

Unroll one pastry onto a greased 15 in x10 in x 1in baking pan. Spoon half of meatball mixture onto half of the pastry to within 1/2 in. of the edges. Top with half of the 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.

Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut each calzone into three wedges. Serve with additional pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
