Sun-dried tomatoes is listed as an ingredient in the basil pesto but left off in the directions for the basil pesto, which states that the sun-dried tomatoes should be layered on. Which is correct? Also, a more accurate time to cook the barley should be stated. It takes a lot longer to cook it through. What gives Mr. Irvine? Do you have high standards for those who participate in your shows but not for yourself. Who proofreads your recipes as they are actually cooked? Does anyone from Food Network reads or edits these submissions? I give you 1 star for lack of attention to details. I'll check to see if anyone from Food Network reads this post.

Made this last night for my vegetarian daughers. Due to time constraints (weeknight dinner I used prepared pesto. I added more ricotta (and some mozzarella cheese to each layer and the kids loved it. One had seconds. I'll definitely make my own pesto next time since I know this recipe is a keeper. Thanks Robert :

Had to google to get the actual directions for how to cook this, which is why I only gave 3 starts instead of 4. Once cooked though...

This was a wonderful dish. Made more than enough for 4 people with out anything else served. The pesto and sun dried tomato were super sweet, and the goat cheese and ricotta gave it a delightful creaminess. The barley stayed just a little crunchy which made the overall dish feel that much more filling. This one's been added to my family's regular rotation!

This recipe is missing the directions for the risotto. I know how to prepare the pesto, that's easy. I guess the wine, ricotta and goats cheese would be mixed in during the last 20 minutes or so of preparing the risotto. Anyone know?

Excellent - even though I opted for a store manufactured pesto that had a bit too much salt. I made this for our New Year's Day dinner when my vegetarian daughter and her long-suffering, preferably carnivorous boyfriend were here for dinner. Everybody had seconds and 4 of us polished it off. Without chermulligan's time saving tip, don't think I would have attempted the recipe, but will try again with my own pesto next summer when 2 cups of basil won't require a second morgage.

I made this with the Arborio rice and brought it to a Christmas dinner. I thought it was great, and everyone else there asked me for the recipe. There were no leftovers! It's a great main dish for the vegetarians!
