Pasta with Brown Rice and Greens
Pasta and Pizza • Italian
Description
Wine selection recommendations. The choice of wine depends on the type of greens and mushrooms you use. If you prefer mild greens, such as spinach, Swiss chard, and cabbage, a light wine like Italian white would be suitable. If you prefer stronger greens, such as arugula, dandelion, or mustard greens, a red wine like Montepulciano d'Abruzzo would work well; and if you prefer mushrooms with a very rich flavor, Shiraz would be a good choice.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Rinse the rice well until the water runs clear; cook it according to the package instructions.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with non-stick spray. Cook the pasta in the skillet for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until it develops a golden crust. Remove the pasta from heat.
Step 3
Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place the mushrooms and pasta in a large serving bowl. Add the broth and the cooked rice. Cover and cook the mixture over medium or low heat until the liquid evaporates. Add the leek and greens, mix well, and season to taste.
Step 5
Cook until the greens are wilted, remove from heat, and serve.
