Stuffed Calzones Two Ways

Stuffed Calzones Two Ways

One of the most loved pizza styles, a calzone – that deliciously sealed and stuffed portable pizza – often begins, for home pizza makers, as a pizza that didn't quite make it.

From creamy ricotta and provolone cheese to savoury ground beef and ham to fresh basil, these calzones are basically hand-held gourmet meals.

Nancy Silverton is often a proponent of doing things the traditional way.

It might seem strange, then, that her pesto recipe uses a food processor.

If you don’t have all the time in the world, simply follow Nancy’s instructions.

If you do ever find yourself with all the time in the world, you’ve got Nancy’s approval to break out the mortar and pestle.

Cooked fresh pesto and heirloom tomato pizza with mozzarella.

Fresh Pesto and Heirloom Tomato Pizza

When you’re craving a dish that highlights an abundance of fresh ingredients, we like to think this delectable pesto and tomato pizza does the trick.

While there are many variations of pesto (in Italy, it’s a term used for any puréed sauce, usually made with a mortar and pestle), one of the most familiar is pesto alla Genovese. It combines Genovese basil from the coastal region of Liguria, garlic, pine nuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano and/or Pecorino Fiore Sardo, extra-virgin olive oil and salt.
