Creamy Pesto Dip Recipe

	Jencathen / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago This recipe was adapted from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cookbook. I use my own pesto although if you wanted to substitute jar pesto for quicker results you could or you could just make the pesto ahead of time. This recipe makes a little over 2 cups of dip....
