2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sausage links; cook, turning often, until brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Stir remaining 1 teaspoon salt, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and oregano into the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute.
4. Reduce heat to low; pour in white wine. Stir in marinara sauce.
5. Slice sausages and return to the skillet. Cook, covered, until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes.
6. Stir ½ cup Parmesan cheese and butter into polenta until melted. Season with black pepper. Divide polenta among 4 serving plates. Top with sausage and pepper mixture. Garnish with remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and basil. |
