Steps:
- Line a medium glass bowl with plastic wrap, one that holds roughly three cups, leaving excess wrap overlapping the bowls edges. Set aside
- Add the cream cheese and butter to a medium mixing bowl, and using a hand mixer cream them together until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the pesto and Parmesan cheese until evenly incorporated.
- Layer half of the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the bowl, using a spoon or spatula to gently spread out evenly.
- Spread half the pesto evenly out over top, followed by the sun dried tomatoes. Repeat the layers.
- Cover with the excess plastic wrap to seal, and refrigerate for at least an hour but up to four hours.
- When ready to serve, carefully use the plastic wrap to remove the cheese mold from the bowl. Set it upside down (the larger end) onto a serving plate and carefully remove the plastic wrap. Discard the wrap.
- Serve with assorted crackers or pretzels of choice.

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.

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.

- Add an 8 oz block of cream cheese and 3/4 of a stick of butter, softened into a bowl. Use a hand mixer to mix.
- Use a small bowl (about 2 cups) and line with plastic wrap. Make sure you have enough plastic wrap so that you can wrap the top of your pesto torte when done assembling.
- Take a little less than 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture and pat it down on the bottom of the small bowl. I usually use a baggie sprayed with Pam so I can flatten the cream cheese mixture without it sticking to me.
- Then add about 4 oz of chopped sun-dried tomatoes (the jar kind, in oil). I usually 'dry' the sun-dried tomatoes with some paper towel so the oil doesn't run onto my cream cheese mixture. Spread the sun-dried tomatos, making sure you spread to edges.

Spoon half of the remaining cheese mixture over the pesto layer; smoothing the cheese with a spatula. Spoon sun-dried tomatoes evenly over second layer of cheese.
