Delicious and simple, if not particularly healthy. Once it finished cooking, I tilted the pan as much to one side as I could without the contents sliding (glass Pyrex dish of prescribed size) and then used a paper towel to sop up the oil from the one side it had all poured towards. Probably tells you something about store-bought vs. fresh pesto, amounts of oil in them?!?! Might try just pulsing basil & garlic in a blender instead, with a titch of oil...it's cheaper that way, too. Did the baking-polenta-5-mins-each-side trick, too. Good texture. My sauce had mushrooms, fresh basil and garlic in it.

This dish was too dry. There isn't enough sauce or cheese to make it taste anything like lasagna. It was just a waste of my time and money...

Although I am a vegetarian, I had never had polenta prior to making this recipe. I was leary when the polenta resembled Play Doh, but it was absolutely delicious! My husband also enjoyed is very this recipe much.

Great easy dish to make with everything I had on hand already. I didn't have the tube-type polenta, so I made it with the cornmeal I had (3-1/2 c water to 1-1/4 c cornmeal). Then I just spread the polenta in the pan, and by the time I got to the second layer, the rest of the polenta was cooled off enough to cut into slices for easier placement. I sprinkled some of the mozzarella on top of the first layer as well because I love cheeeeeeeeeeeese. :)

I love polenta, and I actually made my own for this recipe but overall the dish was not that great. It is a unique idea, but it seems like it is lacking something. I tried adding some baby bella mushrooms and sauteed spinach but the dish still wasn't anything special. I think I will stick to lasagna noodles in the future for lasagna. Will not be making this again.

Very good. I did half mushroom/onion/spinach/artichoke heart, and half onion/spinach/zucchini/tomato sauce. My only gripe is that you end up with a ton of liquid and oil at the bottom of the pan unless you somehow drain the pesto and make sure your sauce is thick. I periodically took it out of the oven and held a spatula over the top (I made a single serving so this was possible) and drained the liquid off. The taste was amazing though.

I am a vegetarian and this was my first time using polenta at home! Duh! Although it didn't say to in the recipe, I lightly browned the polenta slices in a skillet before assembling the lasagna. I used an 8X8 dish. This only made 4 servings. I have enough pesto left and 1/2 a bag of the mozzerella, so I will buy another tube of polenta and make it again next week. You could also probably get away with using only 1/2 a jar of sauce and then you'd have all the ingredients for the second half on hand. This was really yummy the day of and reheated and was easy to make.

This dish was ridiculously easy but yet so delicious. I added some spinach after the first layer of pesto and also some minced garlic cause I am a garlic fiend. It was soo yummy and even better on the next day when microwaved. This is definitely going into the rotation...

Maybe I am just not a polenta fan, but this just did not do it for me. The pesto and sauce combo was delicious, the problem for me was the consistency of the polenta and it seemed to have a kind of funny taste to it. I liked it more than my husband, but I don't think we will be making it again. But if you like polenta, this recipe would be awesome!

An absolutely fantastic and delicious change to Lasagna. What a fun dish. We all loved it and I can't wait to try it out on company. I increased pine nuts to 1/2 cup and used 2 cups of mozzarella ( we love cheesey lasagna)

I added spinach to this which I'd read about in several different reviews. I thought it was very good. The only complaint that I had was that it didn't seem to make eight servings. Maybe four to six.
