Ham 'n' Cheese Calzones

2 (13.8 ounce) tubes refrigerated pizza crust
1 cup ricotta cheese
4 to 6 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 cups diced fully cooked ham
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Dried basil, optional
Meatless spaghetti sauce, warmed

Unroll one pizza crust on a greased baking sheet; roll out into a 14 x 11-inch rectangle. Spread half of ricotta lengthwise on half of the dough to within 1 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with half of the pepperoni, ham and mozzarella. Fold dough over filling; press edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining crust and filling ingredients.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil if desired. Cut into slices. Serve with spaghetti sauce.
