EASY POLENTA WITH TOMATO SAUCE
My entire family loves this recipe. A quick baked polenta topped with red sauce. Very easy to make and great the next day too (and the day after that!) Top with additional Parmesan cheese if you like.

BAKED POLENTA WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA
I turn to polenta when I am in need of some good, old-fashioned comfort food. I suspect it's because there is not much difference between polenta and the grits I was raised on in North Florida. This simple dish relies once again on my favorite tomato sauce and not much else other than freshly cooked polenta made better than ever with a little added ricotta.

Steps:
- To prepare the tomato sauce:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the tomatoes, yellow onion, and garlic in a baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until the garlic is soft and the skin is peeling away from the tomatoes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Remove the skin from the tomatoes and put in a saucepan. Squeeze the garlic out of the bulb and into the tomatoes. Remove the skin from the onion. Coarsely chop the onion and add to the tomatoes.
- Add the olive oil to the tomatoes and puree with a handheld immersion blender until smooth. You may need to add up to 1/3 cup water if there is not enough liquid. Season with salt. Warm the tomato sauce just prior to use.
- To prepare the polenta:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a simmer and stream in the polenta. Whisk together until there are no lumps. Cover with a lid and continue to cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. Be careful when you go to stir the polenta-it tends to spit out pieces of the cornmeal, which is very hot. Remove the polenta from the heat and stir in the olive oil and basil. Drop in teaspoon-size pieces of the ricotta cheese. Pour the polenta into an 8-inch square baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and let sit for 1 hour or until the polenta has firmed up. Bake the polenta in the oven for 15 minutes or until heated through. Cut the polenta into 8 equal pieces.
- To serve:
- Place 1/2 cup warm tomato sauce in 4 shallow bowls and top with two pieces of the polenta. Sprinkle with the chopped basil.
CORNMEAL AND OATMEAL POLENTA WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND PARMESAN
I think I like this combination even more than I like traditional cornmeal polenta, and that's saying a lot. The oatmeal contributes both texture and a wonderful creaminess to the dish. It's a comforting, satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the steel-cut oats, polenta, water and salt in a 2-quart baking dish. Stir together and place in the oven. Bake 1 hour. Remove from the oven and stir in the butter. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and stir again. Taste and adjust salt. If desired, stir the Parmesan into the polenta, or sprinkle it on top after you spoon on the tomato sauce.
- Spoon the polenta onto plates, make a depression in the middle with the back of your spoon, and fill it with tomato sauce. Top with Parmesan if you haven't stirred it into the polenta.

Steps:
- 1. Cut zucchini in half, then cut in half again. Slice in diagonal pieces. Add to a large bowl. Dice plum tomatoes. Add to zucchini to the bowl. Add sliced mushrooms. Add 1/2 the sliced green onions saving 1/2 for topping. Set aside.
- 2. Remove the wrapper from the polenta tube and slice into 1/4 inch slices.
- 3. Add your favorite marinara or tomato sauce to a large saucepan, heating to medium, but do not boil.
- 4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil to medium-high. Add polenta slices to skillet, not overcrowding. Saute on both sides till lightly browned. Set the first batch aside on a warmed plate and place it in 200-degree oven to keep warm.
- 5. Add all the vegetables to tomato sauce, turn the heat down to medium-low. Stir occasionally. Add salt, pepper, and Italian Seasoning. You want to heat the vegetables, not cook them. Taste for the possible addition of more salt and pepper or Italian seasoning and be sure they are heated through.
- 6. Finish sauteing the polenta. Remove the heated plate of polenta from the oven and add this batch to it.
- 7. Depending on how many polenta slices you have, measure out on 4 plates. Top with a large spoonful of vegetable mixture. Top that with the remaining green onions and the chopped cilantro measured out for 4 plates. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the plate. We like this with a salad and crusty bread for accompaniment.
