I added some hot pepper in the beginning and some pecorino romano cheese at the end. It was quite good.
Super easy to make and delicious.
This rice dish is not baked; it's prepared in a pan on the stove. Besides that, it's quite nice. Very attractive and tasty. I used one small yellow squash and one small zucchini and along with the red pepper the colors are quite beautiful against the white rice. It does need to be spiced up a bit: more Tabasco, black pepper, some basil, whatever. It was a lovely side to a roast chicken.
