Evenly divide the sauce among the rounds spooning it in the center of each. Top with the spinach mixture. Dip your finger in water and rub around the edges of the doutgh to moisten. fold the rounds in half pressing the edges together. Using a fork, firmly press the seams to seal the edges. Place on the prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
