Delicious! ;) Low Calorie & Heart Healthy - The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006) - December 2005/January 2006. This comforting and healthful vegetarian casserole is perfect on a cool night or any time of the year, especially when we were having torrential storms and one minute it was hot and the next freezing cold!:) Why not make it a meal and enjoy with a glass of Zinfandel and for dessert biscotti dipped in a fresh-brewed colada de café (Cuban coffee).Also - diabetes appropriate/low cal/heart healthy/low cholesterol in other words, healthy!

- Stir marinara sauce into the vegetables and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in basil.
- Place polenta slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, trimming to fit if necessary.
