Method
Step 1
Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the onion softens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the mushroom and cook, stirring, for 10 mins or until tender and golden brown. Return the onion to the pan. Pour the wine or stock over the mushroom mixture and bring to the boil. Add the tomato, tomato paste, thyme, chopped sage and bay leaves and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and cook for 1 hour or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season.

Gradually add the polenta in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until combined. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the polenta thickens. Remove from heat. Add the parmesan and blue cheese and stir to combine. Season.
