Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 sticks part-skim mozzarella cheese (3x1/2x1/2 " )

2 teaspoons commercial pesto

4 sheets frozen phyllo dough -- thawed

olive oil-flavored cooking spray

1/4 cup fat-free tomato-and-basil marinara sauce

 

Preheat oven to 400F.

 

Coat cheese with pesto.

 

Cut phyllo sheets in half crosswise to form 8 (9x13-inch) rectangles.

Place 1 phyllo sheet on a cutting board or work surface (cover remaining

dough to keep from drying); coat with cooking spray. Place 1 sheet on top

of first sheet. Fold in half crosswise to form a 9x6 1/2-inch rectangle.

Place 1 stick of cheese at center of a short end of rectangle; fold long

sides of phyllo over cheese; coat with cooking spray. Starting with the

short end, roll up phyllo jelly-roll fashion. Coat with cooking spray.

Repeat with remaining phyllo and cheese. Bake at 400F for 12 minutes or

until golden brown.

 

Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until

thoroughly heated. Serve marinara with mozzarella sticks.

 

Serving size: 2 cheese sticks and 2 tablespoons marinara sauce
