Texture is everything to me when it comes to food.  Some of my favorite textures to eat are crisp apples, al dente pasta, crunchy potato chips, ice cream with a little milk poured on top (don't ask)...and I'll stop there because the list goes on and on.  Risotto is not excluded from my list of best textured food awards.  It's super creamy and luxurious and makes you feel like you are eating something really special.  I know it can be intimidating, but in all honesty it's really easy to make!  Time is your only commitment.  Since I love risotto so much, I combined another one of my favorite flavors of pesto to make the perfect springtime version of a classic risotto recipe!  My pesto risotto is going to make your tummy really happy from the first bite.
