Lasagna is definitely a comfort food, but this one has a little twist. Polenta replaces the lasagna noodles, making it that much creamier and comforting.
It's was hard to get a good photo of this "lasagna", but it tastes better than it looks....Just look how much Rick loves it!
Here's the recipe.
We used the last variation with some of our own homemade pesto. Rick also made the polenta himself. Here's how:
Bring 2.75 cups water to boiling. In a bowl combine 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 cup cold water. Slowly add cornmeal mixture to boiling water, stirring constantly. Cook and stir till mixture returns to boiling. Reduce heat, cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes or till mixture is very thick, stirring occasionally.
Mixture will have a consistency like a thick bread pudding. Spoon polenta onto sheets of wax paper and roll to make a tube that is 2-3 inches in diameter. Chill overnight.
OR make your life easier and buy the prepared polenta the recipe calls for.
Either way, enjoy it with a class of wine and a fresh green salad!
