How to make

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced). Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm slice pan with baking paper, leaving 5cm overhanging the long sides.
  2. For the pesto, place all ingredients in a food processor and whiz until smooth. Cover and place in fridge until needed.
  3. Place stock and milk in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil then, stirring constantly, add polenta in a slow, steady stream. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 6-8 minutes until thick. Stir in parmesan, ricotta and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Using a julienne vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the zucchini into long, thin spaghetti-like strips. Add to polenta mixture with half the pesto and stir to combine.
  5. Transfer to prepared pan, and with wet hands, spread out evenly. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan. Turn out onto a board and drizzle with remaining pesto.
