1 T olive oil
1 1/2 lbs italian sausage, remove casing and crumble
1 cup chopped onions

Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for another 2 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan, stir to mix and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and stir to mix. Cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Season with the black pepper and salt. Pour the sausage mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, distributing it evenly. Pour the polenta on top spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula. Top the polenta with the butter and Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
