As the tomatoes start to come in from the CSA in large quantities and my romas keep right on producing, a good option is always sauce. At first I am always a little disappointed with making my own sauce but as with many things it takes patience. The longer you let it simmer the better it becomes. I don't really have a recipe so much as I throw in the tomatoes and garlic which are a necessity and then add what sounds good from there. I did a double batch to use up some tomatoes and decided calzones would be delicious and froze the other half.
I had some dough left in the freezer from the last batch of pizzas and made two of these beauties.
I know you are wondering... what is in this yummy looking pocket of dough. Well besides the obvious sauce and mozzarella, I put sauteed onions and mushroom and SHRIMP. I know I told you I love shrimp. I have been making these mini shrimp calzones for a while now. The original idea came from Giada De Laurentiis. The filling in the original is more shrimp and tomatoes and wine than shrimp and sauce but I enjoy a saucy calzone so it evolved. These are not really mini but that's what Giada calls them so I stick with it. 
It's hard to see the shrimp but I promise they are in there. Yum
