Directions
Italian Sun-Dried Tomato, Provolone and Pesto Torte, My mother-in-law recently served this at our baby shower It was a tremendous hit! Delicious flavors meld together to create a rich and creamy indulgence Serve with toasted baguette, crackers, veggies, or whatever else you please This looks so pretty on a serving plate – your guests won’t want to touch it But they’ll be glad when they do – delish! Note: cooking time is chill time , This was good stuff It was easy but made a pretty presentation It looked like I had spent hours on it used a homemade spinach pesto and made it in a bowl I think next time I would like to make it in a loaf pan for a bit more consistency I was also thinking about adding some italian seasoning to the cream cheese Made this for the Spring 2010 PAC, Yum , This was very tasty and would be great to have at a party! I halved the recipe and when it was finished I cut it in half and then stacked it, to show off the beautiful colors I didn’t have cheese cloth and couldn’t find any at the store I went to So used a thick, clean, damp paper towel It worked just fine and soaked up some of the oil I served it with crackers Very good and would make again! Thanks for the recipe! Made for PAC Orphanage Spring 08 ETA: I took this to a family party and they loved it I think next time I will chop the sundried tomato up so it’s easier to slice
