The day before serving, prepare “cheese” from yogurt by mixing yogurt

yogurt and place over bowl. Refrigerate and drain for at least 10
hours. Before continuing with recipe, carefully remove cheesecloth

evenly over bottom and sides.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Spread pizza sauce over polenta. Arrange
vegetables over sauce, top with yogurt cheese, capers and Parmesan
cheese. Bake 25 minutes or until pie is bubbling hot throughout.
Remove from oven and top with basil.
