In our house we love rice! So rice a roni is often a quick fix for a side. I was really craving some last week and made it from scratch. I will never buy a box again! This was delicious. Hubby and baby both looved!
Homemade Rice-a-Roni or Rice Pilaf
¾ cup long grain white rice ½ cup small pasta shape, like broken fideo, spaghetti, angel hair, etc…1-3 tbsp butter, depends how much fat you want.
14 oz no fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp low sodium chicken base
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
½ tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
- Preparation is the same as stated on the box of Rice-a-Roni. Melt the butter in a pan and saute the rice and pasta until lightly browned.
- Add the chicken broth, base, parsley and garlic. Add any other seasonings if you would like.
- Bring to a boil and cover, then reduce heat to low. Cook 15 minutes without lifting lid.
- After 15 minutes check to see if all liquid has been absorbed and fluff rice with a fork. If the rice is tender but it is still a little wet just let it sit on low with the lid off for a few minutes.
