Homemade Rice Pilaf

We are adding fish to out diet once a week.  I'm going to try and come up with some delicious and creative sides to go with it!  Although I must say, there is nothing quite like some fresh Rice Pilaf to go with fish.  Instead of buying that pre-packaged stuff full of god-knows-what, I made my own.  It was fantastic.

Ingredients

• 10-15 Spaghetti Noodles (angel or regular)
• 1 cup Rice of choice (We like Jasmine, but brown rice is healthier)
• 1 TB Butter
• 2 cups Water
• Parsley (Fresh is best but dried is good too!)
• Lemon, if desired
• Garlic salt (or sea salt)

Directions

• Take about 10-15 spaghetti noodles (or more or less to taste) and break into small pieces
• Place in pan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until noodles turn brown
• Add 1 TB butter and 1 cup of rice, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes
• Add 2 cups of water, juice of 1/2 lemon (if desired), parsley (1-2 TB dried, more if fresh) and salt
• Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat to low to medium-low and cook until rice is done
