    I’ve yet to find a pasta/rice substitution that didn’t both sound weird and taste delicious.

      I guess it worked alright here because the pasta managed to suck up all the sauce

    For a game-changer, try steel-cut oats as a substitute for rice. Unlike rice, it retains most of its fibre and vitamins, doesn’t contain arsenic, doesn’t screw with your blood sugar levels, and also has a relaxing effect.

        Just cook on the stove with water, about 12min or so.

        They’re a little gummy, which you can remedy by placing in a strainer and rinsing them. Re-heat as needed via method of choice, such as microwave, air-fryer or stovetop.
