Polenta Casserole
"Margherita pizza is a classic Italian dish that comes from Naples and was inspired by Queen Margherita, who liked her pizza adorned with the colors of the Italian flag (tomato, mozzarella and basil; red, white and green). Polenta is another typical, northern-Italian meal and we thought it would be fun and delicious to combine these two classic recipes into one tasty casserole! Polenta is a great dish because of its creamy texture that can so easily be built upon; added butter, salt and cheese really take it to the next level. By going all out with the cheese, and using the sweet tomatoes and basil for extra kick, this dish is a simple, but powerful meal that everyone will love!..."
