Notes

You can substitute almost any of the pesto sauces that Trader Joe's sells in this recipe. Basil Pesto would work well as would the roasted pepper and almond one. Same with the cheese, you pick the cheese you want, but I would steer away from soft cheeses. Cheddar and mozzarella work well here.
