I thought this recipe was just okay. The polenta was a bit bland and the sausage and tomato sauce were not very flavorful. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the sausage and tomato sauce were very flavorful. I would recommend using a milder sausage next time.
