Ingredients:

* 1 (6-ounce) package low fat cream cheese
* 1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 30)

Preparation:

In a food processor fitted with metal blade puree basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and cream cheese to make a paste.

To hollow out cherry tomatoes, cut a cone shape out of the stem end of the tomato with a sharp paring knife.
