So you didn't mention if you've tried any steps yet, so ignore this comment if you have.
My friend did the same thing, and it can sometimes be an easy fix.
A couple of quick things to check. This should take like 30 seconds, is not messy, and saves you from the "oh, I feel so stupid" moment. If it doesn't work, then you know you've tried the basics, and it's time to call professionals!

It should be able to freely turn (or you may still hear glass crunching or preventing it from spinning. Sometimes manually spinning the blades can clear them.

I don't know... taping the garbage disposal "key" to the side of it has really come in handy.
(if you don't know what I mean: see this)
Just get a $5 disposal wrench. It sticks in the bottom of the disposal and unjams it. Super simple to do.

I believe you actually need a tool like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQ7WE0/ to get in there properly.. either that or you've ruined the motor. Either way though I would not be putting rice, pasta or starchy things down your garbage disposal it's a nightmare waiting to happen.
Lowe's has the same item for the same price.
Yes, $9 for a little wrenchette is definitely overpriced. Even amazon's price of $6 is too high, IMHO. I guess the lesson is "don't lose it" and if you do, just use a regular 1/4 inch hex wrench (aka an allen key).
