Polenta, red sauce

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, May 13, 2009—

I THINK IT'S NOT REALLY one of the Hundred Plates, but I may have to rethink the whole business. It's really simply one of The Staples: but then so many of the things I post here are. Last night's bread with garlic and oil, for example. Lindsey could probably make this in her sleep: chop an onion, cook it in olive oil, add a can of tomatoes, crushing them between your fingers; salt, pepper, bay leaf. Cook the polenta; add the sauce; grate Parmesan on top.
Green salad, of course.
