Calzone Pinwheels

Ingredients:
1/2 c. ricotta cheese
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. diced pepperoni
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 c. finely chopped green peppers
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion 
1 pkg. (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 jar (14 oz.) pizza sauce, warmed


Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Italian seasoning and salt.  Stir in the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, green pepper and onion.  Separate crescent dough into four rectangles; seal perforations.


Spread cheese mixture over each rectangle to within 1/4 inches of the edges.  Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal.  Cut each into four slices.


Place cut side down on greased baking sheets.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm with pizza sauce.  Refrigerate the leftovers.
