     1/2  lb            Italian sausage
  26      oz            Beef pasta sauce
   1      c             Fresh mushrooms -- sliced
     1/2  c             Green pepper -- chopped
     1/2  c             Onion -- chopped
   2                    Pkg refrigerated crescent rolls
   1                    Egg -- beaten
   1      tb            Water
   1      c             Mozzarella cheese -- shredded

Preheat oven to 350 F. In large skillet, brown sausage, pour off fat.
Add 3/4 cup pasta sauce, mushrooms, green pepper, and onion. Simmer
uncovered for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, unroll crescent dough and
separate into 8 rectangles. Firmly press perforations together and
flatten slightly. In a small bowl mix egg and water, brush on dough
edges. Stir cheese into meat mixture. Spoon equal amounts of meat
mixture onto half of each rectangle to within 1/2" of edges.

Fold dough over filling. Press to seal edges. Arrange on baking
sheet; brush with egg mixture. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Heat remaining pasta sauce; serve with calzones. Refrigerate
leftovers.
