Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , 1 turn of the pan ( evoo)
1 lb sweet italian sausage
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cups chicken stock
2 tbsp unsalted butter
14 oz pumpkin puree
1 cup quick-cooking polenta (or instant )
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pecorino romano cheese, shredded
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped (a generous handful)
1 large fennel bulb (quartered, cored and thinly sliced )
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated (eyeball it)

Directions:

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausage.
Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
Add 1 tablespoon of EVOO (1 turn of the pan) to the skillet and then the onion and fennel.
Cook the vegetables over moderate heat until tender but not brown.
Add the wine and return the sausage to the skillet.
Cook the wine away, a minute or so.
In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock and butter to a boil and stir in the pumpkin.
Return to a boil, whisk in the polenta and stir until it masses together, 2 minutes (Watch out for splatters.)
Remove the polenta from the heat and stir in the nutmeg, thyme, salt, pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese.
Top the pumpkin polenta with the sausage and fennel.
Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
