Nothing makes me feel quite so satisfied as voting. Not to mention voting for good leaders.

The BF and I have a thing for polenta and will eat it as a side with anything - breakfast, dinner, dessert.  Whatever.  So when my friend M said she had a polenta lasagna recipe, my mind exploded a little bit.  What was best about it is how easy it was.  Just a few ingredients and 20 minutes in the oven.

Here’s all you need:

• 1 tube of pre-cooked polenta
• Ball of fresh mozzarella
• 1/2 cup of ricotta 
• 2 tbsp of pesto
• 2 cups of marinara sauce

Of course I had to make it difficult - I couldn’t find the pre-cooked tube of polenta, so I ended up buying instant polenta and whipped some up on the stove.  One box, 2 litres of water.  So - bottom line - it was easy, but I made way way way too much polenta and instead of being easily sliced it was goopy and sticky.  My solution?  Rolling it out under wax paper with a roller.  And it worked pretty well.

Also, because I made so much polenta I decided to double the recipe and make two layers of the dish.  (I still have enought o make a second lasagna)  The mozzarella ball did not last long enough, so I used shredded mozzarella to make up the difference.  

Why is this a lonely lasagna though?  The guy is working late again unexpectedly - and I’m here with enough lasagna to feed an Italian family.
