Polenta placenta

I love polenta. I know this stuff can be made from scratch and it all sounds pretty easy, but I am totally satisfied buying the prepackaged stuff that comes in a plastic casing, much like the that of the breakfast sausage, pan fried and smothered in an endless array vegetable saucy deliciousness.
