Instructions

First things first turn that oven on to 450 degrees F and get it HOT. If you have a pizza stone, add that to the oven and let it get hot for at least 20 minutes. If not, use the bottom side of a baking sheet and place in oven to get hot.
Then, make the broccoli rabe. In a skillet, drizzle with olive oil and add chopped garlic. Cook on medium heat until garlic caramelizes, about 2-3 minutes. Then add broccoli rabe and season with salt and pepper. Cook until it begins to wilt but still has a crunch to it and is a bright green color., about 4-5 minutes. If the stems are really thick, I’ll place a lid over the skillet for a minute to help steam. When done, turn off and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Next, lightly flour a clean surface and cut pizza rough in half, so you’ll have about 5 oz each. Use a rolling pin and toll out the dough to about an 9 inch oblong circle. You’re going to fold it, so it doesn’t have to be a perfect circle.
Then on half of the side, leave a bit of a border of dough, to have room to crimp. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese, then add broccoli rabe, grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Then pull over the other side of the dough and crimp the edges with a fork or your finger.
Use a knife to cut a few holes in the top of the calzone and place on pre-heated baking sheet or pizza stone. Cook at 450 degrees F for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is lightly brown on both sides. When done, remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
