RECIPE: PESTO GREEN RICE

Rice is delicious, but plain rice might become monotonous after a while. I changed it up with Pesto green rice which is flavored with Barilla's pesto Genovese and topped with assorted nuts. A tasty and easy side dish that can be made on the stovetop or in the rice cooker!

I have previously cooked with pesto.
