Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup thin spaghetti, broken up into 1/2 inch pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons clarified butter or 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups long grain rice
4 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Saute the spaghetti in the clarified butter or olive oil until light brown. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  • Stir in the uncooked rice, then add the boiling water. Stir and allow to come back to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes.
  • Uncover and fluff the rice gently with a fork. Place in a serving dish and top with the pine nuts and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
