Notes
You can use a low fat cream cheese if you wish, to lower fat and calories content.
Use a good quality pesto that has a great flavor, or make your own!
If you plan on serving it straight away, let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
If you are making it ahead of time, let it cool to room temperature and then cover and store in the fridge.
