Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ½ cups water
1 cup polenta or yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 (10 ounce) package sliced white mushrooms
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups sliced cooked Italian sausage
½ cup chicken stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Prepare polenta: Stir water, polenta, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper together in an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until most of the water has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  • While the polenta is baking, prepare sauce: Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 7 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in sausage, chicken stock, and diced tomatoes; simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove polenta from the oven and stir in Parmesan cheese. Spoon sauce over polenta and serve.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it helped a lot. I also served it with a side of arugula salad to add some freshness.

This dish is a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, such as a tomato sauce.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The polenta was very dense and the sauce was very rich. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, such as a tomato sauce.
