Steps:
- Line a small shallow dish or bowl with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Coat wrap with vegetable spray. Arrange a pattern in bottom of the dish using the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Add 1 1/2 tubs of garlic and herb cheese (about half a pound) to the dish and smooth over, then layer in the sun-dried tomato spread and the pesto. Spread the remaining cheese on top of the pesto. Place a serving plate over the bowl and invert the bowl. Hold on to the edges of the waxed paper or wrap to release the cheese. Remove the waxed paper or plastic wrap. Arrange the sliced baguette along 1 side of the torta.
- Arrange carrots and tomatoes along the opposite side of the torta.
PESTO TORTE
This fabulous torte can be made without the sun-dried tomatoes. The combination of cream cheese and pesto is mouth-watering. The original recipe comes from Ann Hodgman's Beat This cookbook. I reduced the amount of butter used, and I like to make it in a loaf pan rather than custard cups! You can use basil or artichoke pesto, and I often use dry packed tomatoes but reduce the quantity by half.

ARTICHOKE TORTE
This simple but substantive vegetarian dish came to The Times from Carol Lamont in 2015 when the Well blog invited readers to share their favorite meatless Thanksgiving recipes. Yes, artichokes are not in season in the fall, but frozen work beautifully here.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality artichokes for the best flavor.
- If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichokes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- To make the pesto, use a food processor or blender to combine the basil, olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the basil and pine nuts by hand and then stir them together with the other ingredients.
- When assembling the torta, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly so that each bite is full of flavor.
- Bake the torta at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the torta cool slightly before slicing and serving.
