A rich, super flavorful one-dish meal to share at lunch or dinner with family and friends. The polenta is served with a tasty, hearty sausage ragù, perfect for the colder seasons.
Start with the ragù: remove the casing from the sausages and crumble them with your hands.
In a saucepan, sauté the celery, carrot, onion, half a leek, the garlic and the bay leaf with 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Wilt the chopped vegetables over medium heat, stirring often. When golden, add the tomato paste and the crumbled sausages and brown them for a few minutes.
Once the meat has changed color, deglaze with the white wine and let it evaporate over high heat. Finish cooking over low heat, adding, if needed, a few ladles of vegetable stock until you get the desired sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the polenta: in a large pot bring 1.6 liters of salted water to a boil; rain in the yellow cornmeal while stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon to avoid lumps.
Continue cooking the polenta for about 40-60 minutes, stirring from time to time, until you get a thick, soft consistency.
Transfer the polenta to serving plates and top with the sausage ragù and a generous amount of sauce. Serve hot.
