Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring pie crusts to room temperature.
Rip or cut prosciutto into nine pieces. In a large bowl, combine tomato paste, marinara, and half the mozzarella. Lightly season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.
Unroll pie crusts onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut crusts to create two 8-by-8-inch squares (discard any extra trimmings). Cut each large square into nine small even squares (you should have 18 pieces total).
Transfer half the squares to a baking sheet; place about 2 inches apart. To center of each square, add 1 TBSP filling and one piece prosciutto, leaving a ½-inch border around edges. Using a brush or your fingers, lightly brush edges with water. TIP: Fill a small bowl with water and keep it next to you for easy access. Top with remaining squares. Using a fork to press around dough edges to seal. Brush tops with a drizzle of oil and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
Bake on middle rack until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Let cool 5-10 minutes, then serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Some found the prosciutto overly salty; others felt the dish needed more seasoning and cheese for better balance.
- Ease of prep: Cutting and matching 18 squares was challenging; consider folding larger pieces instead for easier assembly.
- Suggestions: Try using pizza dough or filo pastry instead of pie crust for a lighter, more flavorful base 🍕.
- Portions: These bite-sized pockets were fun to make, but some felt the effort outweighed the result for a full meal.
Reviews from our home cooks
If I get this again, I wouldn't cut 18 rectangles again but it was hard to match them up. I think cutting into 9 pieces...putting the filling on one half and folding the pastry over.
These were fun to make. The flavors were nothing special, making them felt like a party trick.
The pie crust doesn't fit in my opinion, should have used actual pizza crust. Also, mini pepperoni would have been better than prosciutto.
Should have given step-by-step instructions on making it with pictures like the other HelloFresh menus and the type of dough made it not taste flavorful.
