Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter and add the vermicelli pasta until it is golden brown. Vermicelli pasta goes very quickly from golden brown to being burnt.

2

Add the rice, and stir it so that it toasts for a few moments.

3

Then add the water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let the water boil until there is little to no water left.

4

Reduce heat to the lowest and cover.

Cook for about 5-7 minutes.

5

Remove from heat, and run a fork through the rice to fluff it up.
