I finally purchased a rice cooker. I enjoy rice a lot and it's heathier than pasta, plus it's kind of set it and forget it and you can prepare other food while it cooks. But the best part is that rice comes out perfect.

Would you care to expand on what this means?

Also curious about this, rice (atleast white rice) has a higher glycemic index than pasta.

Apologies, I should have specified brown rice. Pretty high on the scale but not as high as pasta.

If you were going to have spaghetti, but instead you had spaghetti sauce on rice, I think it would come out to fewer calories.

Also, wheat generally has a little bit more protein than rice. Whole wheat spaghetti is my carbs of choice nowadays.
