2. Line an 8-inch round cake pan or spring-form pan with plastic wrap. Spread one-third of the cheese mixture in the bottom of the pan. Lay half of the sun-dried tomatoes on top. Spread the spinach mixture on top of the tomatoes. Lay the remaining tomatoes on top of the spinach mixture. Top with the remaining cheese mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
3. Remove plastic wrap on the top. Invert torta onto a serving platter. Carefully remove plastic wrap. Press the pine nuts on the sides to cover. Spread pesto on top and garnish with the extra sun-dried tomato. Serve with crackers or crostini.
