Rinse the rice and set aside to drain.
Clean and dice the onion and garlic clove into small pieces, set aside.
Add the oil to a large pot, heat at a medium high heat, next add the uncooked pasta, and saute for about 3 minutes.
Next add the onion and garlic clove to the skillet.
Then stir in the rinsed rice and continue to saute until slightly browned and translucent.
Continue by adding the broth, turmeric, thyme, salt, and pepper, bring to a boil.
Once everything comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rice is done.
Then remove from the heat while leaving the cover on for another 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove cover to fluff with a fork and serve.
