Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds precooked polenta (in a tube), cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) rounds
1/3 cup grated parmesan
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 pound mixed sliced fresh wild mushrooms
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups bottled marinara sauce
Accompaniment: grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Broil polenta rounds on a lightly oiled large heavy baking sheet 3 to 4 inches from heat until lightly browned in spots, about 7 minutes. Turn rounds over and sprinkle with cheese, then broil until polenta is golden in spots and cheese is melted, about 7 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then cook sausage, breaking up lumps, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Stir in sausage and tomato sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Serve ragout spooned over polenta.

This was my first time making polenta, and I was really happy with how it turned out. The Parmesan crust was crispy and flavorful, and the polenta itself was creamy and smooth. The sausage-mushroom ragout was also delicious.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The polenta was creamy and cheesy, and the sausage-mushroom ragout was flavorful. However, I think it could have been better if I had used a different type of cheese for the polenta.

This recipe is a great starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the polenta and ragout. I also think it would be better served with a side of roasted vegetables.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out gummy and the sausage-mushroom ragout was very bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was okay, but I wasn't blown away. The polenta was a bit bland, and the sausage-mushroom ragout was a bit too salty for my taste.

I enjoyed this recipe, but I made a few changes. I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and I added some chopped spinach to the ragout. I also served it with a side of marinara sauce.

This recipe was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The polenta was delicious, and the sausage-mushroom ragout was even better. I served it with a side of roasted asparagus, and it was a perfect meal.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made polenta mix, which made it even quicker. The sausage-mushroom ragout was also very easy to make and was packed with flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of polenta, but this recipe changed my mind. The Parmesan crust was crispy and golden, and the polenta itself was creamy and flavorful. The sausage-mushroom ragout was also delicious.
