Tip

Pine Nuts

Also know as pignolia or pinon, the pine nut is the small seed from one of several pine tree varieties. They are small elongated ivory-colored nuts measuring about 3/8 inch long and having a soft texture and a buttery flavor. Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.

Medium-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied white wine such as Riesling or Gewürtztraminer

This was okay. I couldn't get the bread sticks to form a 12 in pizza crust so I had to add another package of them. Because I did that I increased the cream cheese and oregano. I also added some cooked cubed chicken and some italian cheese.
