Instructions
In large dry nonstick skillet, brown sausage 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat, flipping once halfway through cooking.
Remove sausage to bowl and set aside.
Add olive oil to now-empty skillet and heat until shimmering.
Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add Swiss chard and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and steam until fully wilted, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary, about 4 minutes total. When chard is almost fully wilted, add sausage back to pan and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while polenta cooks.
Meanwhile, in medium pot, bring 3 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boil over medium-high heat. Slowly add cornmeal, whisking constantly. Drop heat to a simmer and cover. Cook 4 or 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until polenta reaches desired consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and Parmesan.

Spoon polenta into bowl. Top with chard mixture.
