To prepare this blend, you typically combine the contents of the package with water and butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice and pasta are tender. Stirring occasionally helps ensure even cooking. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, coating the rice, pasta, and broccoli. It's ready to serve once the desired consistency is reached.
