Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking up clumps with wooden spoon about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel lined plate. Add the onions and bell peppers to the pan and cook until they begin to soften about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for another 2 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan, stir to mix and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and stir to mix. Cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Season with the black pepper and salt. Pour the sausage mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, distributing it evenly. Pour the polenta on top spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula. Top the polenta with the butter and Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
