This simple rice pilaf with brown rice and angel hair pasta is a healthy, homemade version of Rice-A-Roni that makes the perfect side dish.
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons butter, (use olive oil for dairy free)
1/4 cup 3/4 ounce angel hair spaghetti broken into small pieces*, wheat, whole wheat or gluten-free
1 cup uncooked 10 minute instant brown rice, such as Uncle Ben’s
2 cups chicken broth, (or water and chicken bouillon)
optional, chopped parsley for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the butter in a deep skillet with a fitted lid over medium heat.
When the butter is melted, add the broken spaghetti and rice. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly toasted.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed.
Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
NOTES
* use gluten-free pasta for gluten-free.
