Ingredients
- 1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices prosciutto, finely chopped
- 4 storebought 9-inch pie crusts
- 2 eggs, beaten, for egg wash
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions
Special equipment: scalloped ravioli cutter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the marinara sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced to a thick, jam-like consistency, about 30 minutes. There should be 1 1/2 to 2 cups of reduced sauce. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and prosciutto.
Meanwhile, place 1 piece of dough on a work surface. Roll the dough out gently until you can cut an 8 1/2 by 9 1/2-inch rectangle. Press the scraps into a small rectangle and roll it out to the same thickness as the other rectangle. Cut 3 rectangles from the large rectangle and 1 rectangle from the small rectangle. Each should measure 8 1/2 by 3 inches. Continue rolling and cutting the remaining pie dough.
To form the tarts, place the rectangles on a work surface. Brush each rectangle with egg wash. Place a large spoonful of the marinara mixture in the middle of the bottom half of the rectangle. Fold the dough in half over the marinara mixture to make a 3 by 4-inch rectangle. Press the edges to seal. Using a scalloped ravioli cutter, trim the rectangles to make a decorative edge. Place the tarts on the baking sheets. Brush with egg wash and generously sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.

I made these today for lunch for the kids. They loved them. I used regular jar speghetti sauce and just reduced it a little. Just used 1 and 1/2 cups of sauce and mixed other ingrediants as specified(used pepperoni instead just make sure your sauce cools down. It worked out perfect. Next time I'll add onion, bell pepper, olives to the mix and make a "special pizza pillow"
