For a quick appetizer, plunge these pesto-filled crescent strips into this delightfully creamy spread. Save any extra spread for topping baked potatoes, tossing with pasta, or for serving as a thick sauce with chicken.
TWISTS
2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup purchased pesto
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
SPREAD
1/4 cup dairy sour cream

Unroll remaining can of dough. Firmly press perforations to seal. Press or roll to form 13 x 7-inch rectangle. Carefully place dough rectangle over pesto and walnut filling.
