I made this in the crock pot this morning, THEN looked for a recipe to match. This is really close. I didn't use a couple of the spices (didn't think of them), and am using brown rice instead of pasta. You can only say it's bland if you don't season well. I'm glad I didn't have to type in the recip - 12/8/09
