    While tasty, I encountered several problems with this recipe. First, the bowl should be no larger than 8" wide (1 1/2 quarts. Second, I found that it was not very attractive when unmolded--all you see is the outside layer of provolone. To really get the beauty, it needs to be cut; but how? Third, the recipe states to freeze it, then unwrap and unmold to serve. Surely, it shouldn't be served frozen! It took mine about an hour to thaw enough to eat. Next time, I will put it in the frig instead of the freezer. I also couldn't figure out how to eat it! You really can't take a shmear and spread it because of the firmness of the outside provolone. You really have to slice it! Lastly, I bought a package of thin sliced provolone, and used all 20 slices. I also doubled the amount of basil and parsley leaves. The recipe calls for 3 oz of sun-dried tomatoes. The smallest jar I could find was 7 oz. I used it all, and it was good.

    I make this recipe for many family gatherings, but I have a little secret... this recipe is especially wonderful on Passover! Serve it with matzah and you will be the hit of the holiday! And one especially helpful feature... you can freeze it. This buys me more time closer to the occasion for other preparation.(Note on prep... it usually takes me twice as long to prepare... but sooooo worth it!

    Paula Dean is amazing. This is so good, so tasty, often requested by my friends. After sharing it at gatherings for years, I have heard, "I have to have that recopy," and even, "I think it is an aphrodisiac."

    I saved a step by using premade pesto. Easy and delicious!

    I had this at a friends holiday BBQ over the summer and it was AMAZING!! I asked for the recipe so that I could make it for a party. It was definitely different from any type of appetizer I have had before and it tastes absolutely delicious...it was gone in no time at the party and the presentation was gorgeous!! I can't wait to make this for my sister-in-laws cocktail party bridal shower!!! I would suggest this for anyone looking to bring a dish to a party for the presentation but most importantly the taste...it is a hit!!
