Ingredients

POLENTA
4 cups water
1 cup polenta
salt to taste
FILLING
1/2 cup corn (frozen, canned, or fresh)
1 cup The Lady from Naples Red Sauce or store bought red sauce
1/2 red bell pepper sliced into 1/2 inch strips
1/2 green bell pepper sliced into 1/2 inch strips
1 portobello mushrooms cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 zucchini cut into thin rounds
1/4 red onion coarsely chopped
fresh basil
oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil plus a little more to oil pan
salt and pepper

Directions:

Oil a pie dish or an 8 x 8-inch cake pan with olive oil. Boil water and add polenta and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add corn, and cook, continuing to stir, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat. Pour into the pie dish or pan and, using a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, spread into a crust, pushing the polenta up the sides to create a rim around the edges. Chill in the refrigerator about 15 minutes. Mean - while, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove polenta after about 15 minutes and use a pastry brush to spread 1 Tbsp. olive oil all across it. Cook in upper third of oven about 30 minutes, until the crust becomes a golden brown. Remove and top the crust with red sauce, then spread out the veggies and basil, sprinkle with a little oregano, salt, and pepper, and drizzle remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil over top. Return to oven and cook about 45 minutes. Eat with a salad.
