Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed, and rice is tender.
Cook the 1.5 cups pasta separately in a pot of salted boiling water for about 8-9 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta.
Slice the 2 medium onions thinly. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cooked pasta, sautéed onions, 2 cups of cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
