Preparation
Step 1
In 12-inch skillet, combine sausages and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, over medium-high heat, turning until browned on all sides, about 12 minutes. Remove sausages and drain on paper towels.
Drain grease from pan. Add olive oil; heat until hot. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until lightly browned and liquid has evaporated, about 12 minutes. Cut sausage into 1/4-inch slices; add to skillet with pasta sauce and water as needed to thin sauce. Simmer uncovered until hot, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in large microwaveable bowl, combine polenta and 1 1/2 cups water; whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups water with the salt and pepper until smooth. (For polenta with creamy texture, substitute 1 1/2 cups milk and 2 cups chicken broth for water; omit salt.) Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Whisk until mixture is well blended; microwave until cooked, about 4 minutes longer.
Serve mushroom and sausage ragu over polenta. Garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, if desired.
