We haven't tried this recipe, but it includes lots of ingredients we usually have on hand, so it should be a good go-to in a pinch.

2 cups uncooked polenta (prepare as directed)

Directions:
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add sweet Italian sausages; sauté sausages until golden brown on all sides. Add thinly sliced cabbage; sauté until cabbage is wilted, about 10 minutes. Add 2 cups beef stock and chopped tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 40 minutes to blend flavors. Remove sausages.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spoon half of Basic Polenta into 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Top with half of cabbage and half of cooking liquid. Spoon remaing polenta atop cabbage.
