I'm making a big veggie-centric Shabbat lunch- Soupe Au Pistou, Butternut Squash, Salad Nicoise, and this spontaneous creation- Polenta Lasagna. It is (incidentally) gluten-free and CORE-friendly (for those of you on weight watchers). I sliced up a log of polenta very thinly and sliced ordinary button mushrooms and the white parts of a leek and sauteed them together in a bit of olive oil, then mixed up some ricotta (1 16oz tub) and eggs (2 large ) for a binder. I laid down a layer of polenta slices, then spooned over some ricotta mixture and about half of the mushroom-leeks. Then more polenta slices, more ricotta, and the other half of the mushrooms, plus about 3/4 of a cup of wilted spinach. I topped the lasagna with the remaining polenta slices and a scant dusting of parmesan cheese and baked it at 350 until the top layer looked crispy and the ricotta/egg was cooked through, because I like to avoid food-poisoning my guests.
This is my first post for weekend herb blogging, check out the rest at Kalyn's Kitchen.

Sounds like a very interesting variation of lasagna. I love the idea of mushrooms with polenta.
it was SO GOOD :-)
Welcome to herb-blogging, Hippogirl,
The whole menu looks wonderful.
Yes welcome. Shame that my family doesn´t like polenta. Perhaps they have to try it at least one time. :)
Mm, that looks good...

what a intersting combination, is like combine night and Generic Viagra, but seriously the leek combine with the others ingredients, must have a unmistakable flavor.
