What You Need:

  • 3 cups cubed cooked sweet potatoes (peeled, if desired)
  • 1 16- to 18-oz. tube polenta, cut into chunks
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 5 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 8-oz. package fresh cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¾ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

 

What You Need To Do:

  • In a large saucepan combine sweet potatoes, polenta, onion powder, and 1 cup water.
  • Cook over medium 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Mash to desired consistency. Gradually stir in spinach; cook until wilted. Reduce heat to low; cover and keep warm.
  • For sauce, in a large skillet sauté mushrooms, onion, and garlic over medium 5 minutes, adding water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Stir in cherry tomatoes.
  • Cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes more or until tomatoes soften and blister. In a small bowl stir together vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, and arrowroot powder.
  • Add to vegetables and cook just until thickened. Season with pepper.
  • Top polenta mixture with sauce. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
