Ingredients

3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
10 slices provolone cheese
8 ounces pesto

Steps:

Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Turn off heat. Place sun-dried tomatoes in the water and cover for 5 minutes. Drain and finely chop.
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and garlic.
Line a medium bowl or loaf pan with a large piece of dampened cheese cloth. Layer with 1/3 of the provolone cheese. Spread with 1/2 the pesto. Pour in 1/2 the cream cheese and garlic mixture. Layer with 1/2 the sun-dried tomatoes. Layer with 1/3 provolone, remaining pesto, remaining cream cheese and garlic mixture and remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Top with remaining provolone cheese.
Pull cheese cloth around the layered mixture and gently press into a bowl to mold and remove excess oil. Chill in the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours. Remove cheese cloth and turn upside down onto a large dish to serve.

This torte was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, airier texture.

I made this torte for my Italian grandmother and she loved it! She said it reminded her of the tortes she used to make when she was young.

This torte was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This torte is absolutely stunning! I made it for a special occasion and it was a showstopper. The flavors were divine.

This recipe was a disaster! The torte didn't rise properly and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
