I have always wanted to try my hand at making Pesto sauce. I started to think about the possibility of making something beyond the obvious pasta dish. I came across a great idea on Savorysweetlife.com to make a savory version of a cinnamon roll…genius. These pesto rolls me of the garlic knots I loved when I lived in NYC. I will admit I took a shortcut and used premade pizza dough from the local grocery but am looking forward to making my own next time.

1 package pizza dough
2-3 tbsp Pesto
3-4 tbsp Shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Roll out dough on floured surface to a flat rectangle.
- Spoon pesto mixture and spread evenly along surface.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Roll the dough lengthwise.
- Cut into even sections.
- Place one roll in a separate greased muffin tin.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Notes
- Be careful (unlike me) when cutting the dough to make it come out even. I realized too late and a few came out delicious but a little funny looking.
