Put a fun new spin on a classic recipe and make a New Tra-Dish! This one comes from Amy over at The Stitchin’ Mommy, who came up with a delicious twist on a traditional dinner dish. 
The result: sandwiches for dinner! 
Check out her post below:

I’m always looking for new dishes to make for my family and
I love putting new spins on traditional recipes. So when I got the opportunity
to put my own spin on the Ragú Classic Sausage and Peppers, I was super excited! 

I started to think about what my family really likes to eat and how they like
to eat. Italian food is always a favorite in my home. Also, my husband and
daughter both love things that they can grab and eat quickly, even for dinner. 

So I decided to take the Classic Sausage and Peppers recipe and make my
New Tra-Dish of Sausage and Peppers Calzones! The recipe is super easy and
only requires a few simple ingredients. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

  • 16 oz package Italian sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 24 oz jar Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 32 oz pizza dough

    a small amount of your sausage and peppers mixture onto one half of the
    pizza dough disk.

    the dough over and seal the edges by folding the edge over itself and
    pinching to seal.

any leftover Sausage & Peppers, you can serve it over pasta and it is
