  Makes: 3 1/2 Cups Total Time: About 25 Minutes Rating: Intermediate  

Saute in 1 T. Unsalted Butter and 1 T. Olive Oil:
1 cup onion, diced

Add and Saute:
3/4 cup raw medium-grain rice
1/4 cup whole wheat spaghetti, broken into 1" pieces

Deglaze with:
1/4 cup dry white wine

Stir in; Cover and Cook:
3 1/4 cups chicken broth
Salt to taste

Finish with:
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 oz. prosciutto, sliced into strips
Generous grinding of pepper

Saute onion in butter and olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add rice and spaghetti; stir to coat with oil. Saute until rice is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Deglaze pan with wine; simmer until liquid has evaporated.

Stir in broth and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover pan with a lid that's been wrapped in a clean dish towel (it prevents moisture from dripping off the lid and into the rice). Simmer 18 - 20 minutes. Test rice for doneness; if still firm, cover and cook 2 - 3 more minutes.

Finish off heat with peas and Parmesan; stir in prosciutto just before serving (its color fades when heated). Season with pepper.

 
  Finish pilaf with peas, cheese, prosciutto, and pepper.
