Parmesan Rice Pilaf
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 10 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
MY Mom found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago and it has been one of our favorite side dishes for a long time. The original recipe was a little bland, so I have doctored it up a little. Sometimes I make more than I need for one meal so I can have leftovers.
