Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 c rice, long grain, uncooked
1/4 c broken thin pasta like vermicelli or thin spagetti
2 Tbsp butter
2 c seasoned broth or water

Steps:

  • 1. Micro the 2 cups of water or broth adding 2 TB of any packaged flavors after heating, Set aside. I have used dry spagetti mix, dry burrito seasoning, dry ranch dressing or italian dressing mix with great success.Leftover chicken stock with herbs is great too!
  • 2. Break up the pasta pretty small into the 3/4 c. of rice. Empty into a 3 QT. glass bowl and add the butter. Microwave uncovered for 3 min. or until the butter and pasta have browned to your liking. Remove with potholders and add the warmed broth. Put a glass microwavable plate over the bowl and return it to the microwave. Zap 12 min on high, let stand a min or two, fluff and serve!
