Simply put the rice and the broken pasta pieces into a jar on your shelf. Feel free to use whatever kind of rice your family will eat, either white or brown will work. To make this Gluten Free, use brown rice noodles or other gluten free pasta.

This amount should serve 4 to 6 depending on if you are using it for a side dish or a base for a main meal.

To cook your Homemade Rice Roni, pour the contents of the jar, along with the broth and butter into a saucepan on the stove.

Cook at medium heat until the pasta and rice is done. *You can brown the butter first in the saucepan to give it more of the same color as a regular boxed mix, however, we found this wasn't necessary for good flavor, especially if you are in a hurry.
