    I made these today and found that the refrigerated dough was pretty tough to work with. There was no way I was going to make those darling triangles with what came out of the tube. Went for the rectangle instead. I was struggling to get them to seal well so they look a little "rustic" rather than neat and tidy. Whatever, as long as they're all that way, nobody will ever know how it should have looked! I really like the flavors in this but I did find it to be pretty salty. I should have tasted and then salted since I think the sausage had some in it maybe. I'd cut that back a little for next time. I also let the sausage and arugula rest the time it specified and then it was too cool to melt the cream cheese and Parmesan so I had to throw that back on the heat for a bit to get them to combine nicely. I give it a 4 as written and will probably try it again with less salt and maybe some fresh homemade dough instead of Pillsbury.

    Fantastic. I modified this recipe to be vegetarian friendly, using MorningStarFarms "Italian Sausage" instead of turkey. Threw in some lemon zest for good measure too. It's easy and really tasty!!

    Used spinach instead, and let me tell you, people will NOT believe you made these on your own. Encountered some trouble when assembling them and they didn't look beautiful. But forget about that saying "You eat with your eyes", cause baby, I was eating with my mouth and mama liked!!!

    I made these for the first time last night and my family absolutely loved them - thanks for another delicious and easy recipe, Giada! The salt was just right for my family because we do tend to like salt, but if you don't like too much salt my recommendation would be not to add in the 1/2 tsp salt to see if that makes a difference. It was my first time working with pizza dough and I'd have to say that part of the recipe took a while. From start to finish this whole recipe took me about an hour because rolling the dough and shaping the pizza rolls took some time. After doing a few you do get the hang of it though and find out what works for you. Mine were bigger - I made a total of 8 so they were more like small calzones but everything cooked perfectly and tasted great!

    A wonderfully delicious recipe. I eliminated the sausage and arugula for pepperoni and mozarella cheese. I also eliminated a good bit of the salt. If you know Giada and tried her recipes you know how salty her food is. So when I make her dishes, I eliminate at least half of the salt in her recipes for my taste buds and it always comes out delicious.

    Easy to make, but a little time consuming. Couldn't get the triangle shape so made rectangles, which still worked fine. Took these to a party and everyone loved them. Delicious.

    I am absolutely in love with this recipe. I even made it a little more traditional by substituting pepperoni for the sausage and omitting the arugula. it tastes a little more like a pizza, and my family seems to like it a lot. Everyone is always asking me to make these yummy pizza pockets.

    I found these very delicious! I used spinach instead of arugula but I encourage you to put anything in it, veggies make it taste even better. If you are going to buy Pillbury dough just work with it fast because it dries pretty fast. In conclusion, I can't wait to make them again! very very good!
