1 kg tube cooked polenta
3 tbsp grated parmesan
170-g pkg sliced portobello mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch dried sage
1 pinch dried rosemary
2 to 3 cups spicy tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Place oven rack in top third of oven and preheat broiler. Slice 6 rounds, each about 1/2 in. (1 cm) thick, from tube of polenta. Wrap and refrigerate or freeze remainder for another use. Place rounds on a lightly oiled baking sheet and sprinkle with half the cheese. Broil until light golden, 7 to 8 min.
Meanwhile, if mushroom slices are thick, slice in half lengthwise. Slice all mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Heat butter with oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with seasonings. Stir often until tender, 3 to 5 min. Pour 2 cups (500 mL) pasta sauce into pan. Add more if you want it saucier. Stir often until hot. Stir in parsley. Overlap 2 polenta rounds on each plate. Top with sauce, then remaining cheese.
