Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup mushroom click on link up above for the recipe, rustic, slow-simmered
  • ½ cup meat sauce click on link up above for the recipe, rustic, slow-simmered
  • tsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 3 lices basil garlic polenta
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • black pepper to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • Parmesan Cheese shredded, fresh
  • parsley garnish, fresh

Instructions

  1. Heat the leftover rustic slow-simmered mushroom meat sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
  2. While the sauce is warming, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced polenta to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. While the polenta slices are cooking, heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the spinach, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, or until spinach is just wilted but still bright green. Remove from the heat.
  6. Place the crisp polenta slices on the serving plate. Top with a spoonful of garlicky sautéed spinach followed by a dollop of the warmed mushroom meat sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and top with a piece of fresh parsley, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
