Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 (17 oz) package prepared polenta, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (plastic-wrapped roll)
4 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 (25 oz) jar chunky tomato sauce (you probably only need to use 1/2-3/4 of the jar)
1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, coarsely shredded (1 cup)
2 tbsp finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Directions:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F Oil a 9-inch pie plate or a 4-cup gratin dish with 1 teaspoon oil. Line pie plate with half of polenta slices, overlapping slices slightly to completely cover bottom of pie plate.
Stir 1 tablespoon basil into 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce and spread over polenta, then sprinkle with half of mozzarella. Top with remaining half of polenta slices, then sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and remaining half of mozzarella.
Bake until bubbling and golden, about 20 minutes. While pie bakes, heat remaining pasta sauce, basil, and oil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Let pie stand 5 minutes to firm up and cool, then serve with extra sauce on the side.
