OMG!!! It is sooooooooooo good!!

I wanna make it for Christmas, and figured I would make a trial batch of it today to test it out.

My BF was even impressed and he's a professional chef
 
It's addictive!

And, as Janetupnorth discovered and shared with us, the leftovers are wonderful heated up (you can thin it out with a little milk or cream) and tossed with pasta!
 
I think someone told me that on here Becky do I can't take credit for that one, but yes, good leftovers!My discovery was the Rosemary and Olive Oil triscuits with it! :)

Yum! That sounds good!!
 
Also good with it are the Panetini (bruschetta chips) and focaccia chips. I've found these in the area with pitas and pita chips at the grocery store.

I like to use the Garlic & Herb Town House Toppers - they add more of a zing to the already AWESOME torta!!!!
 
Is this spread like the Mediterranean Cheese Spread?
