1/4 cup pesto
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil an 11x7x2-inch baking dish.
2 Arrange a single layer of polenta in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a thin layer of pesto over polenta. Spoon half of the sauce over polenta. Top with another layer of polenta and sauce.
