A good recipe, easy and quick. Konrad liked cashews.
- 1/4 cup butter (Don’t substitute)
- 2 ounces uncooked spaghetti , broken
- 1/4 cup onion , minced
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/4 cups uncooked basmati rice or 1 1/4 cups long-grain rice or 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth or 2 1/4 cups water (I use water)
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 lb broccoli floret
- 1/2 cup cashews , halves, roasted
Directions:
-
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
-
Increase heat to medium, and stir in spaghetti, cooking until coated with the melted butter and lightly browned.
-
Stir onion and garlic into the saucepan, and cook about 2 minutes, until tender.
-
Stir in rice, and cook for about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in vegetable broth and season mixture with salt and pepper.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and cook 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
-
While the rice is cooking, place broccoli in a separate medium saucepan with enough water to cover.
-
Bring to a boil, and cook until tender but firm; drain excess water.
-
Mix broccoli and cashew halves into the rice mixture, and serve warm.
