 Bring 4 quarts lightly salted water to a boil in a

 When the rice is done, remove from the heat, pour into
 a colander, and toss gently to remove excess water.
 Place the hot rice in large mixing bowl and add the
 basil and cheese. Stir gently to combine, then add the
 olive oil and toss thoroughly. Season with salt.
 Spoon the hot rice mixture into a 2-quart mold and
 press gently to set. Immediately unmold the rice onto
 a large serving platter.  Garnish with tomato wedges
 and parsley sprigs.
