Ingredients
1 recipe Basic Polenta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 hot italian sausages (I use Jennie O Hot Turkey Sausages)
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce (I typically just use a jar of pasta sauce, usually Barilla or Newman’s Own)
8 ounces fresh Mozzarella cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butter 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
Cook polenta, then stir in 1/4 parmesan cheese. Stir well then scrape the polenta into casserole dish.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet, and saute the sausage over medium heat, breaking the pieces up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining Parmesan over the polenta. Add the sausage, using a slotted spoon, in an even layer. Then spoon on the pasta sauce. Spring with remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan, and top with the mozzarella in an even layer.
Bake until bubbling, 30 minutes, then let it stand 10 minutes.
