Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 small unpeeled eggplant, (1 pound), diced (2 cups)
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced (1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tube (16 ounces) refrigerated plain polenta (or any flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper in skillet 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in eggplant, zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes, breaking up with spoon; reduce heat to low. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Spray rectangular baking dish, 11x7x1 1/2 inches, with cooking spray. Cut polenta into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange slices on bottom of dish, overlapping and cutting to fit where necessary. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Spoon vegetable mixture evenly over top.

    Cover and bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and parsley. Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Eggplant is an exceptional choice for a low-fat eating plan. There are only 20 calories in each 1/2 cup. Keep in mind that a pound of uncooked eggplant will yield about half a pound when cooked. Use part-skim mozzarella cheese to lower the fat in this dish.
