Simple Couscous image

I got this recipe from the Rachel Ray Show. I make it with Recipe #195552 - a great combination that my family loved - my almost 14 year old daughter actually ate everything on her plate!! ;) Love or hate RR, Don't knock it till you try it.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The couscous was undercooked and the vegetables were soggy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my couscous turned out mushy. I think I added too much water.

The couscous was a bit too al dente for my taste. I would have liked it to be a bit softer.
