Tube Polenta Bake with Sausage, Red Sauce & Cheese

Do you have a favorite sausage? Then we have an idea for an easy dinner.  You know that tube of polenta on the supermarket shelf? Pull the meat out of the sausage casings and brown it in a skillet. Layer the bottom of a baking dish with jarred red sauce, then thick slices of the polenta, and lots of grated pecorino romano cheese. Repeat with a second layer and more sauce and cheese, and bake it in the oven for 30-45 minutes. Italian winter comfort food for weeknights or for company.
