I made this recipe thinking it would be flavorless but I was wrong. I really enjoyed it and feel its very flavorful, for a simple rice pilaf. The kids loved it too. Will make it again.

I've made this recipe and it's awesome. I've also used Orzo, but I had to adjust the cooking time, but it was awesome too. I like recipes that don't have 1,000 ingredients. Thank you Rachel.

This is a good basic recipe and very easy to make. I sometimes cook some onion in the butter before adding the rice and pasta. I always add cumin along with the salt and pepper, and when the dish is done, I add a handful of frozen peas and put the lid back on for a minute or two so they are cooked. Then I fluff the pilaf with the peas in it. My whole family love this dish!
