Rice Pilaf

One of my married life goals is to try one new recipe a week. Variety is the spice of life, right!? But of course old favorites are important too. This rice pilaf is one of my Mother-in-law's classic dishes. It is quite tasty, goes with so many different things (especially chicken dishes) and it is easy to make! I have almost memorized the recipe.

ManDan was so happy that I made him fish and rice pilaf he took 

this photo with his phone and uploaded it to his facebook. 

Ingredients:

1 cup spaghetti noodles broken in to 1 inch pieces

2 cups white rice

1/2 cup butter

4 chicken bouillon cubes

4 cups water

Put the noodles, rice and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally. 

Meanwhile heat four cups of water and dissolve bouillon cubes.

Add broth to rice as soon as the noodles are golden brown. 

Top the saucepan with a lid and let the mixture cook for about 15min, until all the broth is soaked up.

*Important to not burn the noodles! Also not add the water too soon and have underdone noodles. It took me a few tries to get this right. *

That is it!

Mmmm. Check out Tasty Tuesday!
