Can't decide if the gang would rather have pasta or rice with dinner tonight? Don't worry...with Spaghetti Rice, now they can have both!
What You'll Need
- 4 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
- 8 ounce sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup (about 4 ounces) spaghetti, broken into 3-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cup long-grain or whole-grain rice, uncooked
- 3 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil; add mushrooms and onion, and saute until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Heat remaining oil in saucepan over medium-low heat; brown spaghetti. (Be careful -- it browns quickly.) Remove saucepan from heat and add mushrooms and onions back into pan. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well.
- Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 more minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
Note
- If you're looking for a good make-ahead side dish, this is the one, 'cause Spaghetti Rice freezes well.
- Another favorite side dish that goes well with so many main dishes is our Zucchini Rice -- give it a try!
