Spinach-Ricotta Calzones

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
• 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 lb whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 425u0b0F and coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place spinach in microwave-safe bowl and microwave uncovered on high power (100%) for 3 to 4 minutes or just until thawed. Stir, then squeeze out moisture.
3. Place spinach back in bowl and add ricotta, Parmesan cheese, bacon, garlic, and salt; stir together thoroughly.
4. Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
5. On well-floured surface, roll each portion out into approximately a 6-inch circle. Place one-fourth of filling in center of each circle.
6. Moisten one half of edge with water and fold dough over filling, pressing edges together to seal. Cut several small slits in top of each to allow steam to escape.
7. Place calzones on prepared baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Let stand for several minutes to cool slightly.
9. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
