Recipe - Polenta With Artichoke-Caper Sauce

1 pack Polenta mix or make your
own; (most cookbooks have
recipes)
1 Onion; chopped *
1 Cloves garlic; crushed, up
to 2
1 Red bell pepper; chopped
1 Green bell pepper; chopped
6 Artichoke hearts; cut in
half **
1 pound Passata ***
1 tablespoon Capers
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Fresh oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
6 ounce Fat free mozzarella;
shredded or cut or sliced up
Fat free parmesean

* (or 1 bunch green onions, chopped)

** (they come frozen here, or you can get them canned in water)

*** (I used fresh roma tomatoes, pureed them skins and all in the cuisinart
and then boiled them down. I didn't strain it because there are so few
seeds in the tomatoes and I like the extra fiber)

Make polenta (omit any fat they call for, it's not necessary) and pour into
an 8x8 pan that has been sprayed with PAM. Set aside to cool down. "Saute"
onion and garlic in a little water until soft. Add bell peppers, and
artichoke hearts, and then pour over passata. Stir to blend. Add capers,
oregano and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the
cooled polenta out onto a cutting board, and cut into bitesized cubes. Put
some of the cooked sauce on the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Place
polenta cubes in a layer over the sauce, and then top with the mozzarella.
Put the remaining sauce on top of the mozzarella layer and then sprinkle
with some parmesean. Bake at 375 for 35 minutes.
