I didn't use the water it called for in the recipe just on the Minute Rice Box. We also added more Pasta Sauce!! It was Delicious!!!!

I was very excited about making and eating this dish and found it was bland. After adding salt it wasn't all that bad. I try not to add salt when its not called for but I felt this dish needed it! Also will try a different rice, I only had white rice and it got all congealed. I think an orzo or rice pilaf would be nice with this dish.
