Preparation Steps
- Bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a vigorous boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of polenta, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until thickened and creamy. Off the heat, gently mix in 1 cup of pumpkin puree, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking briefly until fragrant. Fold in 2 cups of chopped fresh spinach and 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs, cooking until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased baking dish, spread half of the polenta mixture as the base. Layer the spinach mix evenly on top, followed by half of the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover with the remaining polenta, then sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella over the top.
- Place the assembled casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
