Step 1
To make minute rice: Pour 1.5 cups water and 1.5 cups rice in microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Wait 5 minutes, or until water is absorbed, then fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Microwave the spinach per directions on package. Squeeze out any extra liquid, being careful, as spinach may be hot!

Add the rice, spinach, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the bowl. Mix until combined.
Step 5
Heat a nonstick griddle or in a pan over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray.
Step 6
Using a ¼ cup measure, place a dollop of rice mixture on the griddle/pan, then use the back of the cup to flatten into a patty. Repeat with remaining rice mixture.
Step 7
Cook the first side until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until brown.
Step 8
Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
