Rice-a-roni is a popular American side dish made from vermicelli and rice, available as a convenience food since 1958. The recipe emerged from a successful fusion of national cuisines: the dish owes its origins to Armenian pilaf and Italian pasta. However, store-bought convenience food still doesn't compare to the taste and aroma of homemade Rice-a-roni. Keep in mind that you may need 1.5–2 times more broth than the recipe calls for.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 250 g of pasta, vermicelli or spaghetti
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves or 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tbsp saturated chicken broth
