This gets extra points for being very easy. Hubby really liked it.

I used regular rice and fresh mushies along with the broth, basil and garlic so, of course, I had to cook it longer. I also used much less parm cheese but that was due simply to personal taste and no butter. This was a wonderful side for tonights baked fish that was full of good flavors.

This was really good. My husband said it could have used more mushrooms but the rest of us thought it was perfect. It was quick and easy to make. Made for Fall PAC 2007.
