1 Prepare Sauce In a small bowl add 1 tsp of vegetable magic, olive oil and red wine vinegar, whisk and set aside. |
2 Cook Spaghetti 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. |
3 Cook Rice Stir shallot and garlic into the saucepan, and cook about 2 minutes, until tender. Stir in jasmine rice and cook about 5 minutes. Pour in water and remaining vegetable magic, stir. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture a boil, cover & reduce heat to simmer and cook 20 minutes, until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed.
