Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler. Line cookie sheet with foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place polenta on prepared sheet; place in oven 5 to 6 inches from source of heat. Broil polenta 10 minutes or until golden, without turning over. Sprinkle polenta with cheese; broil 1 minute or until cheese melts.

  2. Meanwhile, spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; heat on medium until hot. Add sausage; cook 8 minutes or until browned, breaking up sausage with side of spoon. Add zucchini and pepper; cook 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring often. Add marinara and 1/4 cup water; simmer, covered, 8 minutes.

  3. Place 2 polenta rounds on each of 4 plates; top with sausage sauce.

Why this Sausage and Polenta works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Sausage and Polenta that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
