Serve remaining roast and sauce over hot pasta mixture. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings + reserves. FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: Chop reserved roast (about 2 cups). Place beef and reserved sauce in separate airtight containers. Seal and chill for up to 3 days. BEEF AND OLIVE CALZONES: Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC. Line a baking sheet with foil; lightly coat foil with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll 10 to 13.8 ounce package refrigerated pizza dough on prepared baking sheet. Cut dough in half crosswise and lengthwise to make four rectangles; set aside. In a blender or food processor, puree reserved sauce. In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the pureed sauce; the reserved beef; 1/2 cup finely shredded Italian cheese blend; and 1/4 cup sliced pitted ripe olives. Place about 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each dough rectangle. For each calzone, fold a short edge of a dough rectangle over filling to opposite edge, stretching slightly if necessary. Seal edges with the tines of a fork. Arrange calzones so they are evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese. If desired, prick tops of calzones to allow steam to escape. Bake, uncovered, for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat remaining pureed sauce; serve with calzones. Makes 4 servings.
