Polenta Lasagna Cups

- 12 ounces, fluid Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
- 2 whole Vine-Ripened Tomatoes, Seeded And Chopped
- 13 cups Basil, Chiffonade
- 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut the polenta into 16 even slices (I discarded the ends).
- In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat polenta slices just until lightly crisp on each side.
- When all of them have been seared, cut 8 of those slices into half moons.
- Spray 4 oven-safe ramekins or small glass dishes with olive oil spray.
- Layer ingredients as shown below:

- Place ramekins onto a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Then change oven setting to high broil and watch carefully, broiling until the cheese browns lightly.
