1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Review:
This was an excellent side dish and my whole family loved it. I couldn’t find the refrigerated pesto at the grocery store so I used a little pesto packet instead. It was found next to the gravy and seasoning packets. All I had to do was add olive oil and water and simmer. It tasted great and was much cheaper than the refrigerated, prepared kind. I will be making this dish again. It was so tasty.
