Carb lover's manna. I used vermicelli and basmati and added a bit of salt as my broth didn't have any. This is so easily seasoned to suit your own tastes and menu. I think next time I will try poultry seasoning.

    I distorted this so badly, I almost hate to give a review...All I had was Minute Rice...I browned the spaghetti (you really have to watch it) but I had to use 4 or 5 tbsp of oil since the spaghetti soaked it up so quickly...When the spaghetti was brown, I added 2 cups water mixed with 2 tsp of Maggi chicken and tomato powdered bouillon...I also added a diced onion that had been fried with 4 tsp of minced garlic...I put a lid on it and simmered til the spaghetti was done...It had soaked up most all of the broth...I prepared 4 cups of Minute Rice using the chicken/tomato broth for the liquid...When the rice was done, I added it to the spaghetti...Got enough for my neighborhood and part of someone else's but this stuff is really good...Thanks for the recipe...

    Nice side alternative to plain rice. I used vermicelli along with basmati rice. The servings are generous and the directions are perfect. This went well with Cajun Pork Roast recipe 74794 and broccoli.

    I used butter instead of oil, Uncle Ben's Rice, no onion, and added some chicken base. I've made this several times (first seen on Rachael Ray's show). This is delicious and can be used a number of ways. Tonight I added some lightly breaded chicken breast, broccoli, and teriyaki sauce. Roxygirl in Colo.

    Very simple to make and good. I think next time I will add some bouillon to pump up the flavor just a bit more. Or perhaps a little garlic. Thanks for posting!

    This was fast, quick, and fairly easy. Good taste, simple, and easy to adjust to your tastes. I felt that at step 5 where the instrcutions say to "cook as you normally would regular rice" to be a bit vague, especially since I cook regular rice several different ways. How I interpreted this step was to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer on fairly low heat, covered, until the moisture was fully absorbed, stirring once, about 30 minutes or so.

    Very easy & a great recipe to replace a boxed mix. I did add the recommended garlic. Thanks for posting your recipe.
