Polenta more Neapolitan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this polenta dish vegetarian?

Yes! Simply omit the ham or replace it with sautéed mushrooms, roasted eggplant, or plant-based meat alternatives for a hearty vegetarian version.

What can I substitute for wine in the sauce?

Use vegetable or chicken broth with a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for acidity. Grape juice (unsweetened) also works in a pinch.

How long does leftover polenta bake keep in the fridge?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven (covered) at 180°C until warmed through, or microwave in 30-second intervals.

Can I freeze this dish for later?

Yes! Assemble the bake but skip the final baking step. Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed (adding 5-10 extra minutes if cold).

What’s a good low-carb alternative to polenta?

Try sliced cauliflower steaks or a layer of mashed cauliflower. The sauce and toppings will still add plenty of flavor.

Can I use pre-cooked polenta to save time?

Absolutely! Slice store-bought polenta into rounds or cubes, layer as directed, and reduce baking time to just 5 minutes (until cheese melts).

What cheeses work best besides the one listed?

Pecorino, Asiago, or Fontina melt beautifully. For a sharper flavor, try a mix of Parmesan and mild mozzarella.

How can I make this dish spicier?

Add red pepper flakes to the sauce while frying the onions, or top with pickled jalapeños before baking for extra heat.
