Instant Pot Redneck Herb-A-Roni

Servings: 10

Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cups Organic Brown Rice
• 0.5 pounds Spaghetti
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped Herbs (We were growing dill, basil, parsley but you can use any herbs you have on hand.)
• 2.5 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt (Optional)

Instructions

1. Break the pasta into 1-2 inch pieces and saute in a large cast iron skillet with butter and olive oil. You can saute in the instant pot as well, but an extra large skillet makes it easier to get an even brown. Place the browned pasta and rice into your instant pot, add water and set to pressure cook for 22 minutes. Release and enjoy!
