Because veggies are better with cheese

Hey folks,

Admittedly I haven't been cooking very much this fall.  Cooking for one isn't a ton of fun.  But I have started cooking a full size version of something on Sunday and then just eating that all week.

This week I sauteed a bunch of veggies together and threw it in a pan with some polenta and cheese.  Pretty tasty and a quick meal.  I like anything that gives me lots of veggies in one punch, so this was a great thing to make in the beginning of the week to have on hand.

Here's what a did...

Chop up and throw in a pan with some olive oil the following

• eggplant
• zucchini
• mushrooms
• broccoli (steamed it first)
• garlic
• onion
• spinach (wait til the other veggies have cooked for a bit and then throw it in at the end to wilt)

Once the veggies are done, add some tomato sauce and heat through.  Throughout this period throw in whatever spices catch your eye.  I did salt, pepper, oregano, and basil mostly.  

Then slice some polenta lengthwise and layer it in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (greased).  On top of the polenta, put some mozzarella cheese, then the veggie/tomato sauce mixture, then more cheese.

Bake it til the cheese is melted.  Eat.

Cheap, easy, relatively healthy if you aren't offended by cheese.
