Found this to be satisfying, but a little bland. A dash of soy sauce worked well to liven it up. Next time I think I’ll increase the herbs.

Substituted 1 clove garlic for garlic powder, extra water for the wine, regular salt for Lite Salt.

This is a super easy vegetarian meal. I added salt and cooked it for at least a half hour longer than stated in recipe, adding more water.
