This is a combination of a about three recipes that I liked pieces of so I decided to combine them. We love the smell of this in the oven and Stephen all but licks the plate after the meal. The sauce, while not completely homemade, does a decent impersonation of sauce made from scratch but much, much faster. If you’re really lucky Kat or Sean<\/a> will post in comments how they have changed this yet again to include some sort of sausage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tomato Sauce<\/strong>
\n1\/4 c olive oil
\n1 \tlarge onion, chopped
\n3\tgarlic cloves, minced
\n2-3 14 oz. cans of Italian stewed tomatoes
\n1\t8 oz. can tomato sauce
\nsalt, chili powder, black pepper to taste
\nfresh rosemary & oregano to taste
\ndash Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

Brown onion and garlic in oil. Add all other ingredients and simmer 1\/2 hour -1 hour. Add a bit of water if sauce is too thick.<\/p>\n

Polenta<\/strong>
\n3 c\tmilk
\n1 c\tcornmeal
\n1 c\tcold water
\n1\/2 tsp\tsalt
\n1 1\/2 c\tgrated Fontina
\n2 T\tbutter<\/p>\n

In a saucepan heat milk to simmering. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl stir together the cornmeal, water and salt. Gradually add cornmeal mixture to simmering milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture begins to simmer again, reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, over low heat about 10 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. During last few minutes of cooking, stir in 1\/2 the Fontina and butter. Mixing spoon will almost standup in cornmeal mixture by itself, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how you know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re done. On flat tray covered with wax paper, spread cornmeal mixture and let stand in refrigerator at least 1 hour (the longer you let it rest at this stage the better it is). It can sit up to 24 hours in the fridge, just cover it with plastic wrap so it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get too dry. Cut into squares.<\/p>\n

Assembly<\/strong>
\n1\/2 c\tGorgonzola
\nfresh rosemary
\nchopped parsley<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00c2\u00b0. Spread some tomato sauce in 3-quart gratin dish, then overlap the pieces of polenta with the remaining fontina. Spoon sauce in bands over the polenta, leaving the edges exposed. Repeat. Crumble Gorgonzola over top and sprinkle with rosemary and parsley. Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the gratin is hot and bubbly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
