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

Yes! Simply omit the ham or replace it with sautéed mushrooms, roasted eggplant, or plant-based meat alternatives for a hearty vegetarian version.
Use vegetable or chicken broth with a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for acidity. Grape juice (unsweetened) also works in a pinch.
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.
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).
Try sliced cauliflower steaks or a layer of mashed cauliflower. The sauce and toppings will still add plenty of flavor.
Absolutely! Slice store-bought polenta into rounds or cubes, layer as directed, and reduce baking time to just 5 minutes (until cheese melts).
Pecorino, Asiago, or Fontina melt beautifully. For a sharper flavor, try a mix of Parmesan and mild mozzarella.
Add red pepper flakes to the sauce while frying the onions, or top with pickled jalapeños before baking for extra heat.
