Ingredients:
2 cup(s) milk (whole)
2 cup(s) - chicken stock (white) - or vegetable stock
1 cup(s) polenta - or coarse ground cornmeal
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil - for polenta
1 pinch salt and pepper - to taste
1/2 cup(s) Parmesan cheese (grated)
10 roma tomatoes - halved
1 onion - peeled and julienned
4 garlic cloves - peeled (Learn How)

1/4 cup(s) basil - chopped
2 cup(s) Ricotta cheese

Steps:
-For the polenta: Bring the milk and stock up to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the polenta.
-Cook the polenta over low heat for thirty minutes. Once it thickens, stir frequently so it does not burn on the bottom.
-Stir in the olive oil, seasoning and parmesan; set off to the side to cool.
-For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place roma tomatoes, onion, garlic and carrot in a roasting pan; toss with olive oil and seasoning.
-Roast until they are golden (approximately 30 minutes) and then set the roasting pan on the stove top.
-Add the wine and turn on the burners to medium heat. Reduce the wine by half.
-Place the vegetable mixture in a blender and puree. Season to taste and add the basil.
-For the cheese: Mix the ricotta, mozzarella and egg yolks together.
-For the lasagna: Grease a baking dish and spread half of the polenta into the dish.
-Spread 1/3 of the sauce and a 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of the polenta; then add a layer of tomato slices.
-Repeat the same step. On top, spread the remaining sauce, add another layer of sliced tomatoes and crumble the last of the ricotta mixture.
-Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool before serving.
