Polenta Lasagna Loaf – Food Wishes ctm magazine
I’ve never been a huge fan of polenta. And that’s because as a kid I used to get it slightly undercooked, which gives it a sandy texture, and bitter aftertaste. That’s not an issue here, since we boil and bake, which makes it sweet, soft, and absolutely delicious, especially layered into a lasagna. Enjoy!

It's a kind of polenta concia also known as polenta pasticciata
Crazy!
Can this be made in advance, and then baked before serving? Like freezing or in the fridge the day before? Or would the polenta get too mushy/homogenous with cheese? Maybe the polenta could be frozen, then layered, and back in freezer…
Excited to try it! Love all of my Chef John techniques 🙂
LMAO “rage eat” sounds like me when it comes to dinner every night!
You could cut into the lasagna like meatloaf out of the pan. Still looks delicious.
Lasagna soufflé!😀 Looks delicious! Thank you so much Chef John!
Gotta love grits!
sits down with a movie, fork, and the entire loaf pan in her lap
Haha! His commentary is always so hilarious! 😅
Rage eating, Yes that's a thing
We used to make something like this for family meal whenever we had extra Bolognese, except it only had one of each layer. We called it "Italian Shepherd's Pie."
that's awesome.
thank you.
Line the pan with parchment paper?
kermit the foie gras
Que estranho ver gringo fazendo polenta
Unusual. Meaty,. Yet soft, creamy, and delicate. 😍 👍 I think this could be converted to Chile Relleno.
That looks so mushy. Definitely a polenta dish and not a lasagna dish.
Oh my goodness, “Polenta Lasagna” what an incredible idea! Looks so delicious! 😋 I know you oiled your pan… However, may l suggest placing a piece of Parchment Paper on the bottom of your pan as well as your oil. Being a Pastry Chef for 40 plus years, I’m positive that will fix the problem. After you’ve inverted your Polenta Lasagna, don’t forget to peel off your Parchment Paper! It definitely won’t taste good! 😂
I can't wait to try making this!
Try putting a layer of provolone slices on the top with oregano and Parmesan for the last 20 mins or so. It makes a nice bubbly top.
I hear alternatives to pasta is going to become necessary with Ukraine out of the wheat market. We need to eat more corn products anyway.
It's not that far off from gnocchi alla romana
Italian tamale pie!
I love the sharing of imperfections in the process! This is how we learn and improve our skills. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼
Sauce first….always.
I'm definitely gonna make this ASAP, including the flipping on a plate, of course, just for the thrill !!! Love you, Chef John
Looks so very good!!
Remember to line the loaf pan with parchment paper when I make this.
john u forgot to put sauce on the bottom of the tray.
“I was so angry, I started to rage eat” 😂😂
Honestly, I never thought that any disaster could be as disastrous as the cauliflower fry debacle of 2017….but this juuuuust might do it😂
In the South we call that GRITS!
I’m I the only one that watches chef John, for his personality not the recipe? I have never cooked or eaten polenta.
i thought this was a baked pineapple from the thumbnail for a second

Ok, you can shoot me behind the barn later….how is polenta different from grits?
YUMMMMM!
Looks delicious chef John.
Polenta=grits=mush? all cornmeal….so you can use mush instead of pasta ? and make lasagna? interesting…..
My very good friend Mrs. Rodriguez would bring this dish to every party or get-together. Always a crowd pleaser!
Your "disaster" doesn't even come close to mine! As a young bride just learning to cook, I made a HUGE error one night with dinner! I threw wet rinsed french fry potatoes into a frying pan full of hot oil. It splashed everywhere on the stove and caught on fire! I was about to throw water on it (I was panicked by then) and my husband yelled "NOOOO!". He grabbed the pan lid and threw it on the pan and turned off the burner. The back wall behind the stove burned some and the hoodie vent over it was pretty torched! THAT WAS A DISASTER! You just had a boo-boo! 😀
I’m drooling! 😋
Your disaster made me laugh out loud (and if you know me that is rare) so thank you for a good laugh and a fabulous recipe!!!
I don't know why, but the texture here reminds me of moussaka.
can you share the name of your silverware? I always notice it in your videos and its so pretty! I would love to get some for my family. Love your recipes and videos too!
This is literally a combination of two of my favorite flavors and textures EVER!! For me Polenta and Lasagna? OMG!!
Thing about pastas if you drop them on the counter they'll still taste the same if you scrap it back into the bowl. That is if your counter is clean it's just a second plate. The five second rule doesn't work with pasta
