Polenta Mini Pizzas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces prepared polenta (in a chub or tube)
    6 tablespoons pasta sauce
    6 tablespoons low-fat ricotta cheese
    6 teaspoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    6 leaves fresh basil
    pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Preheat broiler.
    Heat olive oil on griddle or in frying pan on medium/medium high.
    Slice polenta into six 1/2 inch rounds.
    Fry polenta according to package directions. If there are no directions for frying, fry 5 minutes per side.
    Remove from griddle/pan, and place on a baking sheet. Prepare each slice like you would a pizza, layering 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, a basil leaf, 1 tablespoon ricotta, then 1 teaspoon parmesan. Broil 2-4 minutes until lightly browned.
    Note: Be careful when removing from the oven, especially if you're using a flat baking sheet. The polenta likes to slide around! Serve.
