Method

Slice polenta into round slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fry on both sides in skillet with olive oil, for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Meanwhile heat the spaghetti sauce in microwave. Place polenta slices on plate, spoon on spaghetti sauce; add cheese and basil.

 

Notes: I also cook baby portabello mushrooms with this recipe, instead of the polenta.

 

Number of Servings: 4
