Perfect for weeknights and date nights alike, this hearty, six-ingredient dish comes together in just half an hour!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 roll (18 ounces) polenta, cut into ½-inch discs
- 3 Fresh to Market Hot Italian Sausages, cut into ¾-inch slices
- ½ bunch rapini, cut into 2–3-inch pieces
- 1 jar (25 ounces) marinara sauce
- 1 ball (8 ounces) burrata, cut into ½-inch slices
Preparation
Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear each polenta disk for 2–3 minutes per side, or until well browned. Remove polenta and reserve.
Place sausage pieces cut-side down in the pan and brown both sides for 1–2 minutes, until cooked through.
Bring a 4-quart stock pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch rapini for 1–2 minutes, until just tender, then drain.
Turn broiler to high.
Add marinara to the pan and bring to a simmer. Arrange seared polenta in the sauce, then add the blanched rapini and top with sliced burrata. Place under broiler for 2–3 minutes, until burrata melts and begins to brown.
