One of my mother’s friends sent a recipe to me for an Italian style spread that’s really yummy.
\nIt’s a layered spread that starts with a layer of cream cheese mixed with goat cheese, spread and pressed into a bowl lined with plastic wrap.
\nThe next layer is a blend of spinach, fresh basil, Parmesan and olive oil and garlic. It makes a dry pesto. This would work best in a food processor, but I was able to chop it finely in a blender.
\nOn top of that you spread roasted pine nuts and finely diced sun-dried tomatoes.
\nThose layers are repeated and then the final layer is the last of the cream cheese\/goat cheese mix.
\nThe spread is chilled to blend the flavors, and then served with crackers. I’ve made this twice for my family, and I plan to make it for the two brunches coming up. It may become a staple at family gatherings. The pesto layer blended with the cheese is wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
