Confetti Polenta with Tomato Prosciutto Sauce

Total time: 20 minutes    done 2 hours earlier
     With colorful, sautéed vegetables swirled through the polenta, this makes a pretty first course.  It needs to be thoroughly chilled in order to slice well - and I used a sharp Chef's knife rather than a serrated bread knife.  The serrated edge tore rather than sliced.
