I made this dish for my family and they all loved it. The sausage was juicy and flavorful, the broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly, and the polenta was creamy and cheesy. This is a great weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone.

Overall, this was a good dish. The sausage was flavorful and the polenta was creamy. However, I found the broccoli rabe to be a bit bland. I think next time I'll add some garlic and lemon zest to the broccoli rabe to give it more flavor.

I thought the broccoli rabe was a little too bitter, but my husband loved it. I'll probably try roasting the broccoli rabe next time to see if that mellows out the bitterness.

I didn't have any polenta on hand, so I served the sausage and broccoli rabe over pasta instead. It was still really good, but I think the polenta would have been better.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought Italian sausage that was already pretty salty. Next time I'll try making my own sausage or using a milder sausage.

I added some crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture for a little extra kick, and it was amazing. The polenta was also really good, and I liked the contrast between the creamy polenta and the crispy sausage and broccoli rabe.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but this dish changed my mind. The sausage and polenta were also delicious, and the whole meal came together in under 30 minutes. Will definitely make again!

This dish was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. The bitterness of the broccoli rabe perfectly balanced the savory Italian sausage, and the polenta was the perfect creamy and cheesy base to tie it all together. I'll definitely be making this again.
