I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta dish turned out terrible. The polenta was grainy and the sage butter sauce was bland. I'm going to have to try this recipe again, because I'm sure it can be good.

This polenta dish was just okay. The polenta was a bit too dry for my taste, and the sage butter sauce was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this polenta dish several times now and it always turns out great. It's a simple recipe, but the flavors are amazing. I highly recommend it.

This recipe was a disaster. The polenta was bland and mushy, and the sage butter sauce was greasy and overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not usually a fan of polenta, but this recipe changed my mind. The sage butter sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own. The polenta itself was also very creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
