1 6.2-ounce jar of Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto
1 loaf of bread
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Bake in a 325-degree oven for 15 minutes.
Serve warm.
We love how fresh this pesto tastes made with fragrant Italian basil and freshly grated Italian cheese, imported from Parma, Italy. It truly makes a difference! This pull apart cheesy bread is so easy to make and is a perfect appetizer for unexpected guests. We used a rosemary herb sourdough bread and boy was it good. You can easily add in pepperoni or prosciutto into the crevices for a heartier option or serve with soup and a salad for a full meal.
