Reduced Guilt Italian Zucchini-Polenta Bake

This extremely low calorie and low fat recipe mocks lasagna without all the noodles and cheese but with a delicious corn flavor. You can add ricotta in between the layers if you want to increase the cheese and protein. You can also use Trader Joe's Turkey Bolognese sauce instead of the Arabiata to increase the protein and flavor in the dish if desired).

Ingredients:
- Package of Trader Joe's Polenta
- 4-5 zucchinis
- Trader Joe's Arabiata sauce
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a long casserole dish (preferably 9x13) with cooking spray.
2. Cut the polenta into thin rounds. It can be difficult to cut without breaking, but broken pieces will not negatively effect the recipe, so don't worry!
3. Slice the zucchini length-wise. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
4. In the casserole, layer polenta, zucchini (this should be a couple layers of slices thick), sauce and cheese (just a sprinkling). Repeat until you have reached the top of the casserole, making sure to end with the sauce and cheese layers. Cover the casserole with foil.
5. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil, add more cheese to the top if desired. Bake another 5-10 minutes.
6. Enjoy and thank yourself for such a healthy meal!
