it.
I put the rice in the pan and pour water in it (obviously) and it
seems fine, but right when I put the tomato sauce in, thats where the
problem begins. Any advice?

Try canned crushed tomatoes instead of sauce. Tomato sauce is thick and sticky and I think it ruins the texture of the rice. When I make Spanish rice, I add a can of chopped or crushed tomatoes instead and it turns out great. Let me know, and I can post the recipe here-- it makes nice Spanish rice. (Then again, I hate that thick, too-tomatoey spanish rice made with tomatoe sauce. If you like that sort of thing you probably won't like my recipe.)
