Creating inventive new weeknight meals Monday through Friday can be a daunting task for busy families. But, cooking doesn’t have to be a burden! I had previously only used Knorr Rice Sides as a side dish, and I had been doing so for over a decade. Though a delicious stand-alone side, I never though to combine the creamy, flavorful rice with protein and veggies for a quick meal made easily in one pan.

There’s nothing better than a simple skillet meal (with minimal cleanup), and this dish delivers. Hot, creamy rice topped with salty sausage, sweet tomatoes and fragrant fresh basil. This skillet meal is summer on a plate that warms your belly with every bite!
