Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/4 cup broken spaghetti, linguine or orzo
• 3/4 cup farro
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or oregano

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring frequently, just until it turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the farro and shallots and continue to cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer until the farro is very tender, about 35 minutes. Check the farro towards the end of cooking and add 1 to 2 tablespoons water if the pan dries out before the farro is tender.
2. Top with the parsley and thyme, fluff with a fork and serve.
