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.
