Wow! This recipe is so delicious that everyone in my family loves it. We’re talking a family with 4 kids, 1 who is kind of picky, and 2 who are super picky as in they will starve themselves until I cave and make their usual of peanut butter sandwiches. So to find a recipe that everyone likes, including the 2 super picky ones is a major win in my book. -
Made for Let's PARTY 2011 tag game to go along with recipe#198822#198822 and recipe#56376#56376...delicious! I did add some minced onion and garlic and some fresh herbs for a little more flavor. I also used angel hair pasta which worked well. DH and I enjoyed this as a side and we will be making this again. Thank you. -
This was delicious. I did not brown my rice only the pasta. This is a quick side dish that could be served with just about anything. Will make again. -
This could not be easier, and it's so good! I used jasmine rice & angel hair pasta (by "thin spaghetti", I thought that might be what is meant to be used). I didn't make any changes to the recipe, but in the future I think I'll throw in whatever fresh herbs I'm using in the main dish or beef instead of chicken broth, as I think this recipe is so versatile. Thanks for posting it, Chef #187428! Made & enjoyed for Let's P-A-R-T-Y! tag game. :D
