Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into small dice
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups prepared ready-to-eat instant rice, such as Uncle Ben's Ready Rice (from about three 8.5-ounce packages)
• 1/2 cup store-bought basil and pine nut pesto
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

1. In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, bell peppers, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Saute until the peppers are just slightly tender, about 4 minutes.
