Instructions
  1. Fill a 4-quart saucepan with 3 cups water; add salt and pepper.  Cover.  Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. When water boils, reduce heat to medium.  Using a whisk or rubber spatula, quickly stir in cornmeal (polenta), cheese, and pesto sauce.  Continue stirring until well blended and thick, about 1 minute.
  3. Remove from heat.  Pour the cornmeal mixture into an 8-inch pie pan or oven-safe dish.  Spread evenly with the back of a spoon.  Let stand until firm, about 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 °F.  Bake polenta until heated through, about 10 minutes.  Remove from oven.
  5. Cut into eight wedges.  Serve hot.
