Spinach and feta are a classic Mediterranean combination. The salty feta perfectly complements the fresh greens. Tonight use this dynamic duo to make a delicious casserole sized calzone. The vegetarian filling — reminiscent of spanakopita — is a mixture of wilted spinach, sautéed onion, crushed red pepper, garlic, and feta.

I cannot click the main title of any YumSugar posts. I can only get to see the entire blog by hitting the comment button. FYI.
These look good!
1Partysugar, I have to ask again if you will marry me. I'm totally in love with you.
I should call my husband and tell him what he's having for dinner. He'll salivate.
2that looks so yummy! I am going to make this tonight or tomorrow.
3Oooh that looks tasty and easy, plus it's nice to see a healthier recipe for a calzone!
4Should you rinse the feta cheese before using it? I have some packed in brine and the last time I cooked with it, it was SUPER salty (obviously!). Any prep suggestions? Thanks!
5Good idea for tonight! thank you!
6I'd try it!
7bunnychick: I wouldn't rinse the feta before using it. Perhaps you should purchase a different kind, like one with herbs or that's not packed in brine. Hope that helps!
8Woah, that looks gooood
9I'm heading to the local pizza parlor after work to pick up some pizza dough.
10I had this for the first time the other day, it was so goood! Im'm excited to try and make it!
