"Found this on the Enfamil website. Could easily be turned into a meatless meal by omitting the bacon!"

ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 lb whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place spinach in microwave-safe bowl and microwave uncovered on high power (100%) for 3 to 4 minutes or just until thawed. Stir, then squeeze out moisture.
- Place spinach back in bowl and add ricotta, Parmesan cheese, bacon, garlic, and salt; stir together thoroughly.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
- On well-floured surface, roll each portion out into approximately a 6-inch circle. Place one-fourth of filling in center of each circle.
- Moisten one half of edge with water and fold dough over filling, pressing edges together to seal. Cut several small slits in top of each to allow steam to escape.

- Let stand for several minutes to cool slightly.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

I loved everything about this! The bacon was the perfect with the cheeses and spinach and I added mushrooms which I recommend. Thanks!! -
This was SOOOOOOO good! I left out the bacon and did not miss it a bit. A keeper. -
This was great. My husband really enjoyed it, and I made double to freeze. I did use finely chopped garlic chicken sausage in place of the bacon. -
Very, very yummy! A bit hit with the whole family - I made extra to have on hand in the freezer! Thanks for posting! -
Mmm Mmm good! I made a single serving and left out the bacon because I didn't have any, but next time I'll have to hunt some down, good idea, and thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
