- 3/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cups (packed) baby spinach

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan and 3/4 cup Fontina over mushrooms. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese over; sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Fold plain half of dough up over filling. Crimp edges tightly to seal. Brush with oil.
