Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce angel-hair pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2/3 cup long-grain white rice
1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Hold pasta upright in a medium bowl, and, using kitchen shears, cut into 1/2-inch lengths; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice, pasta, and remaining tablespoon oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Add parsley, and season with salt and pepper; fluff pilaf with a fork.

I served this rice pilaf with grilled chicken and it was a delicious meal. The flavors of the chicken and rice complemented each other perfectly.

I added some chopped vegetables to the rice pilaf, such as carrots, celery, and onions. It made the dish even more flavorful.

I'm not a fan of vermicelli, so I omitted it from the recipe. The rice pilaf was still very good without it.

This rice pilaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
