Here's how I make homemade Rice-a-Roni:

1 T butter
1 handful angel hair pasta, broken in pieces
1 t chopped garlic
1 onion, chopped
1 c mushrooms, sliced
1/2 t dried dill
2 c chicken broth
1 c rice (whichever kind you like best)
1/2 t salt

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over med. heat. Stir in pasta and let brown. Add garlic, onion, mushrooms, and dill weed. Sauté until onions are opaque.
2. Stir in broth and bring to a boil.
3. Dump in the rice, bring back to boil, turn down heat, cover, and let cook however long the rice needs.

Voilà! It's really good with a handful of toasted pine nuts. Just sayin'.
