1. Preheat grill. In a medium bowl, mix
ricotta with pepper. Set aside.
2. Slice polenta into 8 even slices. Lightly
spray both sides of each slice with cooking
spray.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium
high and add diced pancetta. Cook and stir
until pancetta is crispy, about 2 minutes.
Transfer pancetta to a plate and set aside.
Drain any excess fat. Add ground beef to
same skillet. Cook and stir until cooked
through, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain any fat. Stir
in sauce. Reduce heat to medium low.
4. While ground beef is cooking, grill
polenta on each side until marked, 4 to 5
minutes per side.
5. To serve, divide spinach among four plates
and top each serving with 2 slices polenta.
Pour an equal amount of sauce (about 1 cup)
over each serving of polenta, then top sauce
with 2 Tbsp. ricotta. Garnish each plate with
crispy pancetta. Serve immediately.
