Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and sauté for another minute.

Add diced tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add basil leaves and bring the contents of the saucepan to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes while you work with the dough.
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into four equal-sized circles. Top half of each circle with some mozzarella, then a few slices of pepperoni.

Fold in half to enclose the filling, then pinch the edges to create a nice seam. Place the calzone on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce in a separate ceramic bowl.
