Can you make a good calzone without ricotta?!


Question:

Can you make a good calzone without ricotta?

I hate the taste of ricotta on a calzone, I think it ruins it.

Can you make one without?


Answers:
You can make a calzone with anything you like, try some mozzarella or even pepper jack, mmmmm.

EDIT: Calzone, an Italian word meaning "a trouser leg." It is a pizza crust rolled out and topped with all the ingredients of a normal pizza except tomato, then folded over to a half-moon or crescent-shaped turnover. The tomato sauce is sprinkled on top and it then goes into the oven. It is lightly drizzled with olive oil upon its emergence.

Stromboli is a specialty of Philadelphia. It is a CALZONE-like enclosed sandwich of cheese (usually Mozzarella)and Pepperoni (or other meat) wrapped in pizza dough.
Two delicious variations on a theme.

Whether ot not you use ricotta makes no difference, it's still a calzone.

technically no, w/o ricotta it is considered a stromboli, which are delicious in their own right, so just do that.

why not? Just add a little more of the other ingredients, maybe a little extra mozzarella.

You can make calzones with sausage pepperoni peppers onions anything you;d like. Personally I've never had a calzone with ricotta cheese.

You can subsititute cottage cheese for the ricotta...less calories and the taste is milder...I do this in my famous lasagne...and NO ONE can figure out what I've done...

It won't be a calzone technically a stromboli, but hey call it whatever you want. I'll call it a ham and cheese inside out pizza dough thang.

Well plenty of people agree with you about not liking the ricotta! You can make it without, but it is called a "stromboli"!

Well................... it won't be a calzone. Check about some stromboli recipes. It is basically the same thing but rolled. You just add the mozz cheese, and anything else you like. I like mine with broccoli and diced onion, but you can add anything you like.

Sure, but it would not tast the same as a true Calzone.
