If you are a fan of pesto, then you will love this recipe. I made it with the homemade pesto I prepared using the basil in our herb garden, but it can just as easily be made using store-bought pesto. This pesto monkey bread would be perfect with a pasta dish, with a bowl of tomato soup, or just as a snack or appetizer. It would also be great for tailgating. Oh, and I should mention that it is super easy because you use biscuit dough from the dairy section of your grocery. It is a win-win in every way, and I think you will really like it.
