8-10 servings as a side dish
2 cups raw rice
4 cups chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 cups Italian Marinara sauce
1 medium fresh tomato, chopped
4-5 leaves of fresh basil, roughly chopped
Lightly salt and fresh pepper
½ cup Locatelli cheese
Cheese to serve as topping
In a medium saucepan, add the olive oil and heat.
Place the rice in the oil and stir to coat for a few minutes.
Add the broth or water, bring to a boil, lower heat to medium, cover pot and simmer until the rice is cooked 20-25 minutes (or follow package directions).
When the rice is tender, add the Marinara sauce, the chopped fresh tomato and basil, a little salt, fresh pepper and mix until all is incorporated with the rice.
Stir in the grated Locatelli cheese. Top with more grated cheese.
Italian Style Rice with Chicken and Beef:
To make this a complete meal, lightly sauté ½ pound of chopped beef, drained and ½ pound of chicken (any part, leftover is good too) and add to the rice. Put into a lightly buttered glass casserole dish, top with grated mozzarella and Locatelli cheese and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes or so.
