Spaghetti Calzone

My mom is the best cook I know. I know I'm probably biased, but I really think she is! She makes the best spaghetti sauce ever. She had just made a fresh batch of sauce so I took some to make this for dinner tonight...it was delicious! We cut it into slices and ate it like that. I should've thrown the ends away because it was kind of hard (I do that to regular loaves of bread anyways) but Jon said it was still good.

Ingredients:

• Pillsbury pizza dough
• 6 oz spaghetti, cooked
• 1 cup thick spaghetti sauce
• 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg white
• Parmesan cheese
• Parsley flakes
• Garlic powder
• Italian Seasoning

Directions:

1. Roll pizza dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper
2. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
3. Place spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of dough. Top with sauce and cheese. (I mixed my spaghetti and sauce together)
4. Make cuts 1 ½-inches apart on long sides of dough to within ½-inch of filling.
5. Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under braid.
6. Transfer parchment paper to baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley.
7. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve. 
   
   

   

   Sorry it's not prettier, it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture once we took it off the parchment paper!
