This is easy, so good and very healthy. Can't ask for more than that in a recipe. I ate the leftovers from dinner with scrambled eggs the next day also good. Great way to use tubed polenta.

I doubled the recipe to use the whole log of polenta, but did not double the sausage. This was so easy and so tasty!! I can't wait until breakfast tomorrow to have it again, with an egg.

This was a tasty, easy recipe. Good for a weeknight dinner. I used sweet Italian turkey sausage and used the whole package. 4 oz didn't seem like enough for a filling meal. I also used shredded mozzarella since I had some on hand.
