The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.25 star rating.

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!

This was really really good! I followed some of the other reviewers suggestions and added sauteed squash, artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. Will be making this again. Thanks for a great recipe!

Very delicious. A lot better than what I was expecting. I had a lttle trouble finding polenta but discovered that it is in the pasta section of the grocery store.

This was excellent! I used pizza sauce (that's all I had on hand), sauteed spinach and onion in some olive oil and layered that over the pesto, then added cottage cheese (again, that's all I had on hand), then sauce, polenta and more sauce. Before assembling the lasagna, I sprayed the polenta with Pam and baked it for about 8 mins, then put it under the broiler for about 5 mins each side. That helped with the consistency, I think. And I sprayed my pan with Pam instead of olive oil. This was delicious and I will definitely make again.

Simple and deliscious. My one complaint is that the recipe calls for all pre-made ingredients (not always available). I made my own polenta (maise and water) and tomato sauce with spices. Since pre-made pesto is so expensive where I live, I dosed the tomatoe sauce with a lot of basil! Otherwise, polenta as a substitute for pasta is a great idea and a healthy alternative. Thanks for the idea!

This was easy to make but the polenta drastically alters the taste and texture. I won't make this one again...

I thought this was pretty good. I might brown the polenta first next time.

Outstanding. A great hit, even with my meat-eating friends. I look forward to changing up the recipe with vegetables and other cheeses. Simple to make as well.

I go with 5 stars as my meat eating husband loved it. I added smoke mozz. and a bit of provolone as I had it on hand and it added extra layers of flavor. Thanks for the post!

This is easy to make especially if your tired and don't want to cook but not that good for you. Its eaten in my house and in the recipe box but the family isn't very thrilled when I make it.

This is such a quick and easy recipe - SO SO SO good!!! My DH absolutely loved it. I had some provolone cheese and some roasted red peppers in the fridge, so I added those smack dab in teh middle of all the other layer. Aw MAN it was good!

I wasn't overly impressed with this dish. I used good pesto and good sauce and that'a about all I noticed about the dish - my pesto and marinara went well together - the polenta didn't really do anything for the dish and it wasn't 'lasagne-like' for me. Maybe if we couldn't eat gluten we'd enjoy it more but I'll just stick to regular lasagne and find another use for polenta.
