Pesto Polenta Lasagna Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pesto Polenta Lasagna Bake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give an 11x7x2-inch baking dish a light coat of oil to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   Now, let’s create a delicious base: arrange a single layer of polenta slices at the bottom of your prepared dish, creating a warm and inviting foundation.

3. Step 3

   Next, spread a thin layer of pesto over the polenta, making sure to cover it evenly for that burst of flavor in every bite.

4. Step 4

   Then, gently spoon half of the marinara sauce over the pesto, spreading it out to create a delightful mix of tastes.

5. Step 5

   It’s time to add another layer of polenta on top, followed by the rest of the marinara sauce, ensuring every layer is packed with flavor.

6. Step 6

   Place your dish in the oven and let it bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

7. Step 7

   Once the baking time is up, turn on the broiler and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and pine nuts on top.

8. Step 8

   Keep a close eye on it as you broil, watching for that perfect golden brown cheese and toasted pine nuts, which will add a delightful crunch.
