Ingredients:
– 3 cups chestnut
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
– 1 cup chopped chestnuts
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together chestnut flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, kneading the dough until smooth.
2. Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and divide it into eight equal-sized balls. Set the balls aside and let them rest for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, and chopped chestnuts.
5. Roll out each ball of dough into a thin circle. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese and chestnut mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a small margin around the edges.
6. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press down firmly on the edges with your fingers. Use a fork to seal the edges of the calzoni.
7. Transfer the calzoni to the prepared baking tray. Brush each calzone with a light coating of olive oil.
8. Bake the calzoni for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve the chestnut calzoni hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
