Sun dried tomato pesto

My snake stromboli called for Sun-dried tomato pesto and I found it at our local grocery store. It was located on the top shelf near pasta sauces. I have seen it many other times and always thought that it looked interesting.

Well I do believe everyone enjoyed the snake stromboli, since every bite was gone.

Yesterday I thawed out the other two frozen bread loaves to make pizza. Well, I changed my mind and made two calzones. One was olive oil, ham and swiss. The other was an "italian" with mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni and genoa salami and I spread a liberal amount of the sun dried tomato pesto.

Both were very good, but the one with the pesto tasted a little better.

So here is some info about the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

This info came from the Classico website:

Sun-dried Tomato Pesto

Basil pesto and the intense flavor of sun-dried tomatoes combine in this savory topping. Spread on a loaf of Italian bread. Or add to pasta with olives and crushed red peppers for the easy-life version of Puttanesca.

I think it would also be a great addition to "Italian butter".

Have you tried the plain pesto sauce they make? I love it :) It's good on chicken pizzas
