YUMMY
Don't use brown or white rice. To get that creamy texture of risotto, arborio rice is the best but if you try it with a different rice, let me know how it goes.
TIPS
This basil pesto is awesome made into a dressing by adding a little fresh orange juice. The orange juice really complements the basil.
