Kim: Pesto & Walnut Risotto

I was thinking of making this for a crowd when we host my niece's post-wedding lunch, but have opted for something less filling to serve with the lasagna. But I made enough to have for leftovers. I think it needs more pesto to get that green sheen and a bit of salt (low sodium stock may be good for you but it leaves the risotto a little bland). The recipe is from the Silver Palate gals - The New Basics Cookbook - which I don't use a lot because the recipes can be rather time consuming. Risotto always takes time but it's easy.
