1 cup chopped fresh spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

basil and garlic.  Gradually mix in the olive
oil and Parmesan cheese.  Process until smooth.

medium bowl.

4.  Line a separate medium bowl with plastic wrap.  Spread 1/2 the cream cheese

Cover with remaining cream cheese mixture.  Pat together, cover and chill in
