Polenta “pizza” Margarita
Preheat broiler. Coat a 10-inch pizza pan or oven-proof skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut a 16-oz tube of fat-free, ready-to-eat polenta into ¼-inch-thick slices. Place 1 slice in center of prepared pan and overlap remaining slices to form a 10-inch circle. Lightly spray polenta with cooking spray. Place broiler 5 inches from heat until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together ¾ cup part-skim ricotta cheese, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
Thinly slice and pat dry 3 plum tomatoes and arrange slices on top of polenta; dollop with ricotta-Parmesan mixture, then sprinkle with ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Broil until tomatoes are heated through and mozzarella is melted, about 4 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges.
Serving size is 1 wedge.
