Oops, I meant to say in my previous review that I microwaved the polenta in accordance with recipe 3503. (If I had used the other recipe I would have omitted the cheese and butter as I am trying to use less fat in my diet.)

The sauce was very tasty and easy to prepare. I liked the flavor the tomatoes gave the mushroom sauce. I sauteed the polenta slices in olive oil until golden brown and crusty, and spooned the sauce over it before serving. Made for a very enjoyable dinner.
