Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll crescent roll dough into 2 large rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal.

Cut each roll into 8 slices. Place cut side down on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from cookie sheet and serve warm.

Definition of Pesto:
An uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. The ingredients can either be crushed with mortar and pestle or finely chopped with a food processor. This classic, fresh tasting sauce originated in Genoa, Italy, and although used on a variety of dishes, it is a favorite with pasta.
