I had every intention of making a spinach calzone the other day but when I got to Trader Joes the spinach was twice the price of arugula. That decided me right there and even though I had never had arugula before I have read about it and it's rich peppery taste so I decided what the heck? I'll give it a shot. I think I actually like the calzone better with arugula than I did with spinach. I also added some Kalmata olives for some extra flavor
Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups arugula
1/2 small sweet onion finely chopped
1 1/3 cups sliced portobella mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped Kalmata olives
3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pizza or pasta sauce
butter or oil to grease the pan
4 basil leaves
Preheat oven to 425°.
Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with olive oil
Cut into 4 quarters.
Pat each quarter into a 6 x 5-inch rectangle.
spread 1/4 of the pizza sauce evenly over each rectangle
Sprinkle garlic evenly over rectangles.
Top each rectangle with 1 cup arugula, 2 onion slices, 1/3 cup mushrooms, 1/4 of the olives, and 3 tablespoons cheese.
Add basil leaf to the top of the mixture.
Bring 2 opposite corners to center, pinching points to seal. Bring remaining 2 corners to center, pinching all points together to seal.
Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until golden.

Holy Moly that looks good. I'd love it with peppery arugula. Who would spinach after that? Just Popeye.
Thanks! We enjoy them and we both actually did enjoy it better with the arugula. I may have to work it in other recipes instead of spinach.
