Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups chicken broth Can use beef or vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup white rice
  • 1/2 cup thin spaghetti Can use regular spaghetti or vermicelli pasta
  • 2 Tbsp. butter Unsalted
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp. onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste I omit the salt
  • 1-2 Tbsp. better than chicken bouillon can use beef if using beef broth

Method
 

  1. Break spaghetti into small sized pieces. About double the size of the rice. In a medium sized pan over medium heat, melt butter. When butter is melted, stir in the rice and spaghetti pieces until the spaghetti starts to turn a golden brown color. This will take about 2 to 3 min.Pour in your chicken broth, add your seasonings and Better Than Bouillon. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed by the rice and spaghetti pieces. Turn off the heat and let set for 5 minutes. Lift the lid and fluff. Enjoy!
