Ingredients

1 lb bulk sweet Italian sausage 1/2 cup sliced green onions (8 medium) 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 eggs 1/3 cup ricotta cheese 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (2 cups) 1 jar (7 oz) roasted red bell peppers, drained, chopped 1/4 cup pine nuts

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 °F. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, mix sausage, onions and garlic; cook and stir over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in basil, Italian seasoning and pepper. In small bowl, beat eggs. Measure out and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons egg. Add ricotta cheese to remaining eggs; mix well. Stir into sausage mixture. Add mozzarella cheese, roasted peppers and 3 tablespoons of the pine nuts; mix well. Unroll 1 pie crust on end of large ungreased cookie sheet with about 1/3 of crust extending over edge. Spoon half of sausage mixture over half of crust on cookie sheet, leaving about 1-inch border and mounding filling toward center. Fold pie crust half over filling; press edges with fork to seal. Cut four 1-inch slits in top of crust. Repeat with second crust and remaining filling at opposite end of cookie sheet. Brush calzones with reserved 1 1/2 tablespoons egg. Sprinkle with remaining pine nuts. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. To serve, cut each calzone into 3 wedges.
