Chef's Note

If the polenta gets too thick while waiting for the sausages, simply whisk in a splash of warm water or broth to loosen it back up to your desired consistency.

Ingredients
  • 4 links Italian pork sausages

  • 2 units bell peppers

  • 1 unit yellow onion

  • 1/2 cup instant polenta

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

Instructions
  • 1

    Wash 2 bell peppers and 1 yellow onion, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick strips.

  • 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • 3

    Add 4 raw Italian sausage links to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides.

  • 4

    Add the sliced peppers and onion strips to the skillet with the sausages. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sausages are cooked through.

  • 5

    While the sausages are cooking, bring 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

  • 6

    Slowly whisk 1/2 cup instant polenta into the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to low and continue whisking for 3 minutes until the polenta is thick and creamy.

  • 7

    Add 2 cups fresh baby spinach to the sausage skillet and toss for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted.

  • 8

    Spoon the creamy polenta into two bowls and top with the sausage and pepper mixture. Set aside the extra 2 sausages and half the pepper mixture for another meal.
