Spinach Pull-A-Parts

3 T. butter, melted
1 t. garlic salt
8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing, I prefer mayo
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, I prefer shredded
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 box (9 or 10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach- thaw and drain well
1/2 t.dried basil leaves, if desired
1/4 t. pepper
2 (8 oz.) cans Pillsbury refrigerated garlic butter crescent dinner rolls (16 rolls)
marinara sauce, heated, to serve with pull-aparts


Heat oven to 350. Spray fluted tube cake pan (bundt pan) with non-stick cooking spray. In small bowl, mix butter and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic salt; set aside.
Then mix together: cream cheese, mayo, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, basil, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Separate crescent rolls into the 16 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make a total of 32 small triangles. Press or stretch the triangles slightly being careful not to tear. Spoon 1 tablespoon of spinach mix onto triangle; pull dough around spinach into a ball; roll around to make sure edges are sealed.
Roll each ball in butter mixture; layer in pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes and then turn over pan and place rolls onto plate. Serve with marinara sauce.

I did not have a separate bowl of the butter and garlic salt. I just put that in the spinach mixture. I skipped the rolling the balls in the butter/garlic mixture. This worked quite well.
