Combine water, contents of rice and seasoning packets, onion and garlic in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover tightly and simmer 20 – 25 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.

St. Joseph Day Recipe!

This is a north Italian recipe. They use a lot of spinach in northern Italy. This is probably my favorite and I love to serve it with mozzarella and chopped tomatoes.
