Polenta Cups

So, a tube of polenta walked into my kitchen the other day....

Ingredients:

1 (18 oz) tube of polenta at room temperature

1 Tablespoon olive oil

½ cup chopped yellow onion

1 cup sliced mushrooms, chopped

2 cups prepared marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided

2 Tablespoons grated parmesan

Directions: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the onions and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened and then add the marinara. Continue cooking on low for 10 minutes and then remove from heat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a full size muffin tin (12 individual cups) with cooking spray. Slice the polenta into 1 inch thick slices and crumble one slice into each muffin cup (you may have some polenta leftover). Push the polenta into a cup shape using the back of a teaspoon. Spray the inside of the polenta cups with cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and pack the polenta down again with the back of the spoon. Add a pinch (about 1 teaspoon) of mozzarella to the bottoms of the cups.  Add enough sauce to come close to the top of each cup and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for 15 minutes more. Let cool and remove each cup with a spoon.
