Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter ( Don’t substitute)
2 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken
1/4 cup onions, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 cups uncooked basmati rice or 1 1/4 cups long-grain rice or 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth or 2 1/4 cups water ( I use water)
salt and pepper
1/2 lb broccoli florets
1/2 cup cashews, halves, roasted

Directions:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
Increase heat to medium, and stir in spaghetti, cooking until coated with the melted butter and lightly browned.
Stir onion and garlic into the saucepan, and cook about 2 minutes, until tender.
Stir in rice, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Pour in vegetable broth and season mixture with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and cook 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, place broccoli in a separate medium saucepan with enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil, and cook until tender but firm; drain excess water.
Mix broccoli and cashew halves into the rice mixture, and serve warm.
