Default Creamy Polenta

Creamy Polenta

Polenta, a mush made from cornmeal, is an Italian favorite. It's delicious served plain as a side dish or topped with a favorite tomato sauce. You can also use it as a base ingredient in casseroles instead of noodles.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth 2 cups
cornmeal 1/2 cup
salt 1/2 tsp
grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup


1. Combine the broth and cornmeal in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer over low heat until thickened but creamy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking. Taste and add salt, if desired.

2. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with cheese.
