Grilled Polenta with Puttanesca Sauce

Puttanesca sauce is a favorite in my house. Puttanesca is usually a spicy sauce using seasonal vegetables. We get many of tonight’s “seasonal” vegetables year-round in our supermarkets.

This version of Puttanesca sauce also has some plant-based Italian sausage thrown in to ratchet up the spicy element.

We’ll use leftover polenta and marinara sauce tonight.
