  • 4 Servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bulk sweet Italian
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), 1 turn of the pan
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large fennel bulb—quartered, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • One 14-ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup quick-cooking or instant polenta
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (eyeball it)
  • 1 cup shredded Pecorino Romano
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a generous handful)

Directions:

  1. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausage. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel–lined plate. Add 1 tablespoon of EVOO (1 turn of the pan) to the skillet and then the onion and fennel. Cook the vegetables over moderate heat until tender but not brown. Add the wine and return the sausage to the skillet. Cook the wine away, a minute or so.

  2. In a large saucepan, cook the polenta as directed in the main recipe and stir in the nutmeg when you add the thyme, salt, pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese. Top the pumpkin polenta with the sausage and fennel. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
