ingredients
nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
8 ounces fat-free sour cream
1 baguette sliced French bread
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
15 ounces fat-free ricotta cheese
8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground red pepper
1 egg
1 1/4 cup pesto, divided
directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat 2 (7-inch) springform pans with cooking spray and sprinkle with bread crumbs evenly.
Place ricotta and cream cheeses in a large bowl and beat at medium speed until smooth. Add Parmesan, salt, pepper, and egg. Continue beating until smooth.
Pour 3/4 cup of the mixture into each pan. Spread 1/2 cup of pesto over each layer and top with another 3/4 cup of cheese mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until almost set.
Combine 1/4 cup of pesto, flour, and sour cream in a bowl and stir well. Spread half of this mixture over each cheesecake. Bake for 10 more minutes. Cool cheesecakes to room temperature, cover and chill.
Serve with sliced baguette.
Tip: This can also be made in one larger springform, but if you have the small ones, they're great! The second small cheesecake freezes well.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
