    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!

    I love it!! I've made it several times because I love pasta and rice, in fact I crave them both! Nope, not pregnant...thank God! I've tried rice pilaf out before, but they use wild rice and just too many spices. This is perfect! Thank you for this simple recipe that taste great!! I'll be making this more often and will also be adding some other ingredients too.

    I love this recipe and make it often for my "picky eaters"...children, adults who are not adventurous, etc. I saute onions or shallots in the butter first and add a little fresh parsley for color. Big hit and the base recipe can be as fancy or basic as you like by adding other ingrediants.

    This is the first time I've made rice pilaf from scratch. It was very tasty and easy to make. I added corn and fresh herbs in mine for a slight variation. Will do again!

    Love this recipe easy to make and delicious! I I used organic spaghetti, jasmine rice ,1 1/2 of broth made from "Better Than Boullion" Turkey base brand mix. Browned the pasta for about 2 minutes before adding the rice then browned about 3 more minutes. I did add a shake of garlic powder to it. added a sliced green onion. and lemon herb spice.

    This is the first time, I cant wait to make different styles of this, with Brown Rice,
    Go away Rice a Roni go away. This has a lot less salt in it. Thanks for the idea Rachel!

    This is my families new favorite rice pilaf - prior to this it was near east - this recipe lets us control the amount of salt in the dish which is terrific. I make this using orzo in the place of spaghetti and brown rice instead of white, unsalted beef or chicken broth depending on the protein we are having that evening. Great! Thanks Rachael!

    I used half Orzo and Half Vermicelli. I used 2 cups of broth made from "Better Than Bullion" brand mix. Browned the pasta for about 2 minutes before adding the rice then browned about 3 more minutes. I did add a shake of garlic powder to it. Since I tried it the first time, I've made some variations to go w/ different dishes and I've also added different veggies to it for variations...corn, peas, green beans, etc.. for flavor variations I substituted the following:

    Beef: 2 Cups Beef Bullion

    Pork: 1 Cup Beef Bullion & 1 Cup Chicken

    Vegetable: 2 Cups Vegetable Bullion

    Oriental: 1 Cup Vegetable Bullion & 1 Cup Beef Bullion

    all turned out very good!
