Delicious!! I was attempting to recreate a dish we had at a restaurant, and this was very close. I followed the suggestion of using fresh tomatoes, which I quartered and put in the food processor for a several pulses until it was the consistency of stewed tomatoes. I also added chopped red peppers and replaced the sherry with 3T of balsamic vinegar. This will be my "go to" dish when friends come over for dinner on the deck in the summer!

I made this for my "foodie" friends, and it was a great hit! The tomato sauce was even better the next night when I heated up the leftover polenta and sauce.

I was desperately looking for something new to use some of the overabundance of roma tomatoes from the garden. Used about 5 peeled and whole romas (for 2 servings) and balsamic vinegar instead of sherry. A keeper recipe with or without the quinoa.

This is a good alternative to pasta. I'm giving it three stars because there was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't spectacular either.

This is a good recipe and has been a favorite of ours for a while. It comes from Didi Emmons's cookbook "Vegetarian Planet." If you like this recipe you should buy the book, there's a lot of good recipes in it.

I didn't have mushrooms, red pepper flakes or sherry. So I substituted the 1/2t pepper flakes for 1/2t cayenne pepper and the 1/4c sherry for 1/4c white balsamic vinegar. I added an extra 1/2t oregano and omitted the green onions. It turned out delicious!!

This recipe was delicious!!! I loved the quinoa in the polenta, and the tomato sauce was quite tasty. I didn't use as much onion as was called for, but otherwise followed the recipe. Looking forward to having this again--thanks for sharing!
