Calzone Pinwheels

Again, this recipe is from the cookbook Almost Homemade. This is a great appetizer and was very quick to throw together. However, it is not substantial enough for a meal.

Ingredients:
1/2 c ricotta cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 c diced pepperoni
1/4 c grated Parmesean cheese
1/4 c chopped fresh mushroom (I left this out.)
1/4 c finely chopped green pepper (Again, I left this out.)
2 tbsp finely chopped onion (Left out)
1 pkg (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce, warmed

Directions:
1. Combine the ricotta, Italian seasoning and salt. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Parmesean cheese, mushrooms, green pepper and onion. Seperate crescent dough into four rectangles; seal perforations.
2. Spread the cheese mixture over each rectangle to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Cut into 4 slices.
3. Place cut side down on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 10-15 mins until golden. Serve with warm pizza sauce.


Hint: Next time I might use cream cheese instead of the ricotta. It was a little grainy for me.

Review: Again, good and quick. Great for a party on the fly.
