Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/4 c Cornmeal
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 4 c Water
• 1/4 c Parmesan Cheese, grated
• 1/2 lb Sweet Italian Sausage, chopped
• 1/2 lb Hot Italian Sausage, chopped
• 1 tsp Olive Oil
• 1 26oz jar Garden-style Spaghetti Sauce
• 1 1/2 c Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. The Polenta. In a pot, heat water to a boil. Gradually whisk in cornmeal and salt.
   Cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until mixture comes to a rapid boil. Remove from heat. Now stir in the parmesan cheese until mixed well.

3. In a 13x9 greased baking dish, spread the polenta evenly along the bottom. Place in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

4. While the polenta is baking, you may cook both types of sausage in the olive oil, over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Drain in a strainer.

5. Place sausage back in pan after drained. Add the spaghetti sauce and cook for about 5 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.

6. Remove polenta from oven. Spread the sausage sauce mixture over the polenta evenly. Top with the mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

7. Now you can sit down and enjoy this wonderful recipe with your family!
