The opinion of ingesting healthy spinach doesn't need to incite a knockdown drag out fight, the likes of those fought inside the boxing ring by Brockton Blockbuster Rocky Marchegiano (the ring announcer in Providence, Ri couldn't declare his last name, suggesting "Mack," but Rocky opted for the more Italian-sounding Marciano). The spinach calzone offers one a nutritious jab to go green and halt strong. Each blockbuster, crescent-shaped centerfold stuffed with spinach is rich in iron and fortified with the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin-two nutrients found in high amounts in our eyes. Vitamins A, C, E, K, magnesium, and folic acid are other heavyweight contenders stuffed inside the dough-fisted calzone.

Bread dough shaped into a large rectangular pie, loaf, or private crescent are options for baking your own spinach calzones inside the ring of your kitchen. My mother's recipe is one that "goes the distance," compliance eight calzones. Boil 2 packages of fresh or frosty spinach and drain in colander. Heat ¼ cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, adding garlic to sauté for about two minutes. Toss in spinach, and turn until wholly coated-also prime time for you to heighten flavor by adding salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, sliced black olives, and might I suggest--diced pepperoni. Change spinach combination to a colander to drain, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

The last round involves preparing your pizza dough which should have risen to the occasion. To make 8 calzones, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling them into 4-5-inch circles, brushing olive oil on each. Divide the spinach combination equally among them, folding and sealing the edges of each pocket. Change calzones to an oiled rimmed baking sheet, and slide it into the oven. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the crust is lightly golden.

Can't go the full round in the kitchen? You can buy spinach calzones from any one of Rhode Island's numerous Italian bakeries. My salute goes to Calvitto's Bakery & Pizza, Inc. (purveyors of the world's finest pizza, bread, pastry and calzones) because their calzones taste just like the ones my mom makes. For .75 each, you'll go strong to the halt with a blockbuster from any one of their locations-- 101 Park Ave., Cranston; 285 Park Ave., Cranston; 90 Pt. Judith Rd., Narragansett; and 60 S County Commons Way, Wakefield.

Native Rhode Islanders or road warriors traversing the distance in The Ocean State--go green by eating a spinach calzone for lunch or supper. Each portable, fist-sized crescent packs a nutritious punch with knockout flavor. Spinach calzones are the undisputed heavyweight champ of Rhode fill on the go.
