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.

Steps:
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off the heat. Place sun-dried tomatoes in the water, and cover for 5 minutes. Drain, and finely chop.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and garlic.
- Line a medium bowl or loaf pan with a large piece of dampened cheese cloth. Layer with 1/3 of the provolone cheese. Spread with 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture. Pour in 1/2 of the pesto. Layer with 1/2 of the sun-dried tomatoes. Layer with 1/3 of the provolone cheese, remaining cream cheese mixture, remaining pesto, and remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Top with remaining provolone cheese.
- Pull cheese cloth around the layered mixture and gently press into a bowl to mold and remove excess oil. Chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Remove cheese cloth and invert onto serving platter.
- Garnish as desired with basil, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, lemon wedges, olive oil, etc.
- Enjoy!

[email protected]This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add more pesto and sun-dried tomatoes, and I would also use a different type of cheese.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my torte didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. It was a little dry and crumbly.
