ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups wild rice
- 3 cups water
- 1⁄2 cup fresh basil
- 3⁄4 cup pine nuts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3⁄4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- salt
- pepper
- 3 fresh tomatoes
directions
- Bring the rice to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Blend the other ingredients in a food processor to make a pesto sauce.
- Add to the rice.
- Serve with lots of fresh tomatoes to make up for the "death by cheese and olive oil" sensation. If it needs made up for, that is. I kind of like it.

I am my husband's favorite housewife with two little boys and "something" on the way. I like to plan menu's and am compulsive about trying new recipes. I think this is because i am pregnant or just plain spoiled.
