Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into pieces as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Sauce

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the Calabrese sauce and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare Polenta

    In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
