Crescent roll dough Italian Style image

We get bored with the usual spaghetti w/meat sauce or even meatballs. For a change from the pasta, I decided to try a crescent dough Italian "cheesy wreath". I found the pesto in the pantry, saw the cheeses in the fridge, and "VOILA" I was on the road to yummy town! My picky hubs actually enjoyed the dish and had seconds! ...
