Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pesto and half of the cream cheese (4 ounces). Spread the cream cheese and pesto mixture on the bottom of a small baker (a 2-cup baker works well).
- In a second mixing bowl, or the same bowl*, combine the remaining cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, sour cream, garlic, and dried herbs. Mix well. Spread evenly over pesto mixture.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Note cook time may vary depending on the size of your baking dish. Let the dip sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and additional sun-dried tomatoes as desired (pine nuts are yummy, too!).
- Meanwhile, if serving with a baguette, I highly recommend placing it in the oven while the dip rests to warm. Slice and serve with the dip.

PESTO & SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD
This comes from my aunt who makes a GREAT homemade pesto. A great appetizer that goes very well with wine. If you're like me and not a huge fan of goat cheese-you can substitute the goat cheese with more cream cheese/try feta. If you're looking for a great pesto recipe I recommend #81307. cooking time is chilling time. the longer it sits, the better the flavours.

PARSLEY PESTO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Last night, in the mood for something delicious and healthy (in that order), I made pesto using parsley. I always keep parsley in the fridge -it's a staple for me, as are lemons and garlic. I consider these types of ingredients the building blocks of good food; hence, keeping these items in my kitchen is a must! Top your favorite high-protein, gluten-free pasta with this power packed parsley pesto -parsley is considered a superfood- and you have a dish that not only tastes good, it's good for you too! Enjoy.

SIMPLE PESTO SPREAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
A neighbor brought this to a block party a couple of years ago. It is so simple and so delicious that I make it and take it everywhere. At Christmas time I make a wreath using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and spread this combo on it. Very cute!

GOAT CHEESE PESTO SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD (MAKE AHEAD)
This tasty, flavorful spread is quick and easy to make but it looks very elaborate and pretty. It is a great appetizer for a crowd. I love that you make it a day (or two) ahead of time, so there is one less thing to worry about the day of the party. The green, red and white colors look especially festive on a holiday buffet. You can also make a half batch in a mini-loaf pan for a small group.

CHEESE, PESTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO TORTA
I make this for a potlucks or parties, so often I assemble a tiny one in a mini-loaf pan for the two of us. If there are any leftovers, they go great on bagels. I sometimes take small disposable containers so people can take some home with them. If you want to use pre-made pesto, 3/4-1 cup should be enough for this dish. I usually serve it with assorted crackers, but it goes well on toasted baguette slices and mini-bagels too. It takes awhile to assemble, but cooking time is simply chilling time.
