Polenta with Home Style Marinara Sauce

Ingredients

For the Sauce:
2-28 oz. Cans Diced Tomatoes
1 6 oz. Can Tomato Paste
1/2 Large Sweet Onion
6 to 8 Cloves Fresh Garlic
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Dry Red Wine
3 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
1 Tbsp. Black Pepper
1/4 Cup Cane Sugar
For the Polenta:
1 3/4 Cups Coarsely Ground Yellow Cornmeal
5 Cups Water
1 Tbsp. Butter
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1
Prepare the sauce first:
2
Peel the onion and the garlic cloves; mince both finely.
3
Place the olive oil in a large stock pot and heat over medium high heat.  Add the minced garlic and onion.  Brown lightly, about 5 to 6 minutes stirring frequently.
4
Lower heat to low and add tomatoes, wine, oregano, pepper and cane sugar.  Cover and let simmer for about 40 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Now prepare the polenta:
6
Place the water  in a medium sized saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium high heat.  Whisk in the cornmeal slowly in a very thin stream.  If you add it too fast, it will lump.  Add the butter.
7
Lower the heat to low and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is very thick, about 15 to 20 minutes or until it pulls away from the sides of the pan.
8
Pour polenta into a serving platter and top with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese.
