Expert Tips

Go Green—Can’t find a red pesto? No problem! A whole batch of green spirals is just as eye-catching. Double the amount of basil pesto and omit the red pesto to make this recipe work with just one type of filling.

Pairing Suggestions—These beautiful appetizers pair nicely with skewers of tomatoes and mozzarella, citrus slices and a medium red wine.

Does anyone know if this can be made ahead, and if so for how long. Wish you could ask the site.

I've made this with both types of pesto and they're always a hit! Easy to make, pretty on the table, and really delicious. They pair well with minestrone, too!

I wonder if you could use sun dried tomatoes instead of red pesto?
