Simple Baked Polenta with Tomato Sauce

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 798 mL jar pasta sauce
1 tube of polenta, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated emmental or swiss cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft. Add pasta sauce and heat.

Slice the polenta into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place half the slices in a greased ovenproof dish. Spoon on half of the pasta sauce and sprinkle with half the cheese. Layer on the other half of the polenta and repeat the pasta sauce and cheese layers. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if using.

Bake until golden; about 20 minutes.
