1 cup ricotta cheese
4 to 6 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 cups diced fully cooked ham
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Dried basil, optional
Meatless spaghetti sauce, warmed

1. Unroll one pizza crust, stretching gently to make a 14-in. x 11-in. rectangle.

2. Spread half of the ricotta on half of the dough lengthwise, to within 1 in. of the edges.

3. Sprinkle with half of the pepperoni, ham and mozzarella.

4. Fold unfilled side of dough over filled half and press edges together firmly to seal. Transfer to a greased baking sheet.
