Moving Beyond Spaghetti On Italian Food Night
If your family is stuck when it comes time to think of another Italian-style dish to serve, try this economical and nutritious Italian Beans and Rice meal. Italian food is usually all about the spices, and there’s no lacking in flavor when you mix up a kettle of this rice dish. I always use brown rice because I like the nutritional value. What comes through with the brown rice is also a nice nutty flavor and great texture, as well. Beans are a great source of protein as well as dietary fiber which makes this dish the perfect meal to serve your vegetarian friends and family. Be sure to include a nice green salad alongside to complete your meal.
If cooking up a pot of beans and rice appeals to you, but you haven’t been able to think outside the “Spanish Rice” or “Cajun Rice” box, this is a great flavorful dish that will please your whole Italian food loving family. When it comes to inexpensive bean recipes, this one is just different enough to keep your family coming back for more.
