Ingredients
- 1 8 oz can Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
- ⅓ cup Pesto Sauce any brand or homemade
- ¼ cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 Tablespoons Parsley fresh, chopped for garnish
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce warmed for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent rolls onto a lightly floured surface and gently press the perforations together to create one large sheet of dough.
- Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the entire sheet of dough, then sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
- Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up into a long tube, then slice into ¾" slices (you should get between 6-8). Place the pinwheels cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 12-17 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with warm marinara dipping sauce. Enjoy!
