Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter.

Helpful hints
- Angel hair or thin spaghetti noodles can be used in place of vermicelli.
- For comparison, packaged rice pilaf prepared with salted butter or margarine contains 400 to 650 mg sodium per 1/2 cup serving.
- Some low or reduced sodium bouillon granules or cubes contain potassium chloride instead of salt. These are not recommended if you are on a low-potassium diet.
- Freeze extra portions and reheat in the microwave for a very quick starchy side later.
