Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by slicing the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Remove the casing from the spicy Italian sausage and crumble it into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Add the Calabrese Sauce

    Pour the Calabrese sauce into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Cook the Polenta

    While the sauce is simmering, prepare the polenta according to package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling water and gradually whisking in the polenta, cooking until thickened.

  6. 6

    Serve

    To serve, spoon a portion of polenta onto a plate and top with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
