Instructions

Bake polenta
1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice half the polenta into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place them on an oiled baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes, until crispy.

2

Meanwhile, thinly slice the zucchini. Thinly slice the garlic. Halve, peel, and finely chop the onion. Coarsely chop the olives.

Roast zucchini
3

Toss the zucchini with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out on another baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes until softened.

4

While the zucchini roasts, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.

Season tomatoes with salt
5

Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano to the pan with the onions. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until sauce has slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook spinach and garlic
6

In another pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and spinach and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, for about 2 minutes until wilted.

7

Serve the sautéed spinach with polenta cakes and roasted zucchini on top. Spoon over some tomato sauce and sprinkle with goat cheese, walnuts, and olives.
