I really liked this dish but I changed things and may have messed it up. I realized (after I'd diced all the ingredients) that I didn't have enough Basmati for the recipe. I subbed long grain white rice and the end result was a bit dry and not super flavorful. I added a lot of extra sun dried tomatoes and tripled the garlic and the end result was nice and cheesy. Good flavor...maybe it would be perfect if I hadn't altered the rice, but nonetheless, the finished product was great! I'll add stars to my review when I do it exactly as stated.
