Preparation / Directions:
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add sausage, stirring frequently until cooked through and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan bring water, salt, basil and 2 minced cloves garlic to a boil. Whisk in the polenta, cover and cook over meidum-low heat 10 minutes, stirring often. The mixture will splatter, so use kitchen mitts. Remove sausage from pan. Add olive oil. Add remaining clove garlic, pepper flakes and salt; stir 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook quickly over medium- high heat just until wilted, about 4 minutes. Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with spinach and then the sausage. Sprinkle each serving lightly with cheese and serve.
