Equipment

  • Sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 1/4 small onion
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 2 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Heat a medium saucepan to a medium heat. Add butter. Once the butter melts, add broken whole-wheat pasta. Cook in the butter until toasted and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add onion and rice.
