7 Tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread, divided
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
1 package (8 oz.) PLUS 1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup prepared pesto
Assorted crackers or toasted bread slices
Instructions

Line 2-cup shallow-rimmed soup bowl with plastic wrap allowing excess to overhang 2-inches over sides.

Melt 1 tablespoon I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread in 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden. Process onion mixture and tomatoes in food processor or blender until finely chopped. Evenly spread into prepared bowl; set aside.
