  1. If you brown the pasta and rice before you cook it, it will taste even better.

  2. Can you also use white rice?

    1. I use white rice... brown 1/4 cup of vermicelli, (if you can find it, {look in the noodle section at your store, they often come in a small box} or just use the broken pasta) in a pan, add 3/4 cup dry rice and 1 3/4 cups liquid (I use chicken or beef stock or water and 2 bullion cubes, microwaved until the cubes dissolve) and cook like regular rice, on the stove for 20 mins on low

  3. I'm sure you could, but you would have to adjust the cooking time. Brown rice takes a lot longer to cook.

  4. White rice works just fine. I used to make this before I got lazy! You can do it in a pan too, if it has a nice tight cover, and yes, brown it all first, along with some onion and garlic. It will taste better.

  5. So you brown the rice and pasta raw, and then it cooks in the oven?

  6. No oven, cook covered on stove, just like RaR.

    1. Ok I wanted to see what spices were used... I use Uncle Ben's (sometimes), brown the Orzo Pasta and rice, then add water and put half of a bullion cube and cook on top of stove with Tight cover.

  8. For the pasta~ vermicelli, broken into small pieces [about 3/4" long] is best...

  10. Browning the rice also has the side effect of halting its absorbtion of the liquid ONCE it has fully cooked. This allows you to have a sauce and not just a bunch of sticky rice.

  13. This is pretty cool! I love rice-a-roni, but always hated the 700-900 grams of sodium that is in it!

  14. A much easier way is for each cup of white rice brown in one-half stick of butter, I use about 1/4 cup vermicelli. After it is brown add one can chicken broth for each cup of rice. Bring to boil and simmer 20 minutes. I have made with and without the vermicelli. Great without it. I adjust according to how many people there are. One cup of rice will serve 2 people in my family. They love it.

  18. Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks!

  19. I like this recipe since I can use gluten free spaghetti to make it. A box of gf rice a roni costs about $4 and doesn't taste good at all.
