Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups hot water
5 tablespoons basil pesto
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons very finely grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice in the hot water, simmering over a low heat in a covered pan for around 20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.
  • When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat.
  • Add the pesto sauce, pine nuts and parmesan cheese. Stir to mix well.
  • If the rice has had a chance to cool at all, you may wish to reheat it at this point- the rice should be hot enough for the mozzarella to melt slightly.
  • Serve onto plates and top with the grated mozzarella if desired.
  • Enjoy!
