Water
2 C long grain rice
1 C broken vermicelli or angel hair pasta
2.5 tbsp olive oil
salt
1/2 C toasted pine nuts, optional
Rinse the rice well (a few times), place in a medium bowl, and cover with water. Soak for 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
Heat the olive oil in medium cooking pot on medium-high. Add the broken pasta and stir continuously to toast it evenly to a nice golden brown (do not burn).
Add the rice and continue to stir until the rice is coated with oil. Season with salt.
Add 3.5 C water and bring to a boil. When the water is down to the level of the rice, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes on low. Once fully cooked, turn the heat off and leave the rice undisturbed in pot for another 10-15 minutes.
Uncover and fluff with a fork. Transfer to serving platter and optionally top with toasted pine nuts.
