This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I used too much salt when I was seasoning the farro.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I had some leftover pesto in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a fan of pesto, but I loved this dish. The farro was cooked perfectly and the sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives added a nice touch of flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts in the pesto. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes or kalamata olives, so I used chopped sundried tomatoes and black olives instead. It still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my farro turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The pesto was also a bit too oily.

The farro was cooked perfectly, with a slightly chewy texture that held up well to the pesto and other ingredients. The pesto itself was flavorful and aromatic, with a nice balance of basil, pine nuts, and cheese.
