Ingredients

• 1 cup farro
• 1/2 cup pesto
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Rinse the farro under cold water.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine farro and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the farro is tender and the water is absorbed.
3. While the farro cooks, place pine nuts in a small pan and toast over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
4. Once the farro is cooked, drain any excess water and transfer the farro to a large bowl.
5. Add pesto, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the farro. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
6. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm or at room temperature.
