Creamy Polenta

Servings: 8
Active prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 40 mins
4 cups water
Salt
1 cup medium-grain yellow polenta
4 tbsp butter
1 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese

Heat lightly salted water to a boil over high heat, about 5mins. Quickly whisk in polenta until fully incorporated.

Lower heat to low simmer, add butter and allow polenta to cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 mins.

Finish by stirring in the cheese and salt to taste.

If preparing in advance, cool, cover, and refrigerate. Reheat in microwave, about 5 mins on high, just before serving. Stir vigorously after reheating to fluff.
