Parmesan Fried Polenta with Roasted Broccolini

The past few weeks have been unbelievably busy. The first week of March I was diagnosed with melanoma and 8 days later said melanoma was removed and I am officially cancer free. I was very fortunate to have caught this early and highly encourage everyone to go in for yearly skin checks! Also, wear your SPF!

Disclaimer over. Onto delicious food. The dish above was a quick and easy meal with most ingredients premade. I used a healthy pasta sauce with no added sugar or funky ingredients. I also used a premade tube of organic polenta.

To prepare the broccolini: cut the ends, if needed, and then rinse. In a bowl toss the broccolini with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 400F for 10-15 minutes.

To prepare the polenta: Heat some olive oil in a pan and add some thinly shaved garlic to the oil which will infuse it with flavor. Slice the polenta and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and freshly shaved Parmesan. Fry the polenta slices until light brown.

For extra texture and flavor, we also sautéed some mushrooms in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Top the polenta with pasta sauce and fresh Parmesan. Enjoy!!
