Prepare Pesto: In food processor fitted with chopping
blade, process basil leaves, cheese, parsely sprigs,
pine nuts or chopped walnuts and garlic, until smooth
paste forms. Gradually add olive oil and process until
well blended. Set aside. In 2-quart saucepan, heat
broth and wine just to boiling. Remove from heat In
large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add rice and
garlic; saute, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until
rice just starts to brown. Add 1/2 cup of the hot
broth mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until all
the liqu has been absorbed. Continue to cook, stirring
constantly and adding broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a
time, until all liquid has been absorbed and rice is
creamy but slightly al dente--about 20 to 25 minutes.
If desired, add salt to taste. Pour rissotto into
serving dish. Spoon pesto onto risotto in a spiral
pattern; top with basil sprig and serve immediately.
(It will become sticky if allowed to stand before
serving.)
