Ingredients

• 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 (14 oz) package Hillshire Farm smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 1 (18 oz) tube pre-made polenta (flavor is your choice), cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 2 cups parsley leaves
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the Tbs. of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sliced sausage and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, then remove from skillet.

To the skillet, add the polenta slices (and a little more oil if needed). Sauté each side for 2 minutes, until golden brown.

In the meantime, combine the parsley, garlic, parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large food processor. Pulse to blend into a pesto.
Toss pesto with polenta, sausage and peppers. Serve your face immediately!
