RICE AND PASTA PILAF

Steps:

• In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid (I use a 3-quart saucepan), melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the rice and pasta and saute, stirring frequently, until it is lightly golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn; reduce heat if needed.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and roasted chicken base. Add to the pot along with the garlic powder and parsley flakes; stir briefly to combine. Note: Be very careful when adding the liquid to the pot, as it creates a lot of hot steam!
• Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
• Cover the pot, reduce the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork, season to taste with salt and pepper if needed, and serve.

Steps:

Mix in orzo and simmer uncovered until just tender but still firm to bite and some broth still remains, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add green onions and cheese and stir to blend. Season pilaf to taste with salt and pepper. Rewarm over low heat, if necessary, and mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if pilaf is dry. Transfer pilaf to large bowl and serve.
