Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 297kcal
Tender fluffy rice and crispy bits of pasta perfectly seasoned. A throw back to Rice a Roni days, but with healthier ingredrients and considerably lower sodium content. Delicious as a side dish. Equally as good as a complete meal with addition of chopped cooked chicken or shrimp and some green peas.
