Polenta Gratin with Tomato, Fontina, and Rosemary
- Firm polenta, page 523
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups grated Fontina
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups Fresh Tomato Sauce, page 61
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
- Salt and freshly milled pepper
- 1/2 cup Gorgonzola
- Chopped parsley
- Make the polenta.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in half the Fontina and the butter, then spread it, about 3/8 inch thick, on a clean counter or sheet pan to harden.
- Slice into rectangles or rounds--the exact size doesn't matter.
- This can be done hours in advance.
- Heat the tomato sauce with half of the rosemary.
- Taste and season with salt, if needed, and a little pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread 3/4 cup of the tomato sauce in a 3-quart gratin dish, then overlap the pieces of polenta with the remaining Fontina.
- Spoon the remaining sauce carefully in bands over the polenta, leaving the edges exposed.
- Crumble the Gorgonzola over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the rosemary and the parsley.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the gratin is hot and bubbly.
- Garnish with the parsley, season with a little pepper, and serve.
