Aunt Helen's recipe is really a treasure! Thank you very much for sharing. I've prepared it several times and am so pleased to be able to easily serve such perfectly delicious rice. I use only a third cup of angel hair pasta pieces which is plenty. I also use homemade stock and increase the salt to a teaspoon. Thanks again!
