Baked Polenta with Fresh Marinara
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups instant polenta
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp olive oil
3 oz Gruyere cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Jars Stancato's Marinara Sauce
Serves 4
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking pan (11 x 7 in) with clear film. Bring 4 cups water to a boil with the salt.
  2. Pour in the polenta in a steady stream and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Beat in the paprika and nutmeg, then pour into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Let cool.
  3. Bring Stancato's Marinara sauce up to temperature in a sauce pot. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Turn out the polenta on to a chopping board, and cut into about 12 squares. Place half the squares in a greased ovenproof casserole dish. Spoon on half the marinara sauce, and sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat the layers. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until golden.
