1

Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll pizza crust on work surface sprinkled lightly with flour. Straighten edges, and press evenly into 14x8-inch rectangle. Sprinkle top of dough with flour.
2

With sprayed and floured 2 1/2-inch tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut dough into 24 trees. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
3

Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. Transfer to serving tray; cool 5 minutes.
4

Spread pesto sauce on trees. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cut small stars out of jarred roasted red bell peppers for an extra punch of holiday color and flavor.
While a shelf-stable jar of pesto will do in a pinch, a refrigerated tub (or a homemade version) is preferred.
