- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- ½ cup broken thin spaghetti
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2¼ cups water
- 1½ tbsp Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base

Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broken spaghetti and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown.

- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley and pepper for about 20–30 seconds.
- Add water and Better Than Bouillon and stir well. Bring to a boil.
- Cover, reduce to low and cook about 13 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
