Pasta e Riso is the perfect comfort food that combines the best of both worlds—delicious pasta and hearty rice, all in one delightful dish!

1

Begin by finely chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Set them aside.

2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Pour in 1 liter of vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.

5

Add 100 grams of rice and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes.

6

Next, add 100 grams of pasta to the pot. Stir occasionally and let it cook according to the pasta's package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes.

7

Once both the rice and pasta are tender, remove the pot from heat. Stir in 50 grams of chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!
