This was pretty good but it was not what I was expecting. It had an oddly sweet flavor to it and the tomato juice from the diced tomatoes seemed to overpower the Balsamic dressing. It also seemed to be lacking seasoning and I didn't add any when I cooked it because I figured the Balsamic would carry the dish. Next time, I think I'll drain the tomatoes completely and add some salt and pepper and maybe some garlic. It was good and we all liked it, it just needed an extra little punch of something. Thanks for posting!
