Polenta


I was in the mood for spaghetti, but hubby wanted something a little different than the same old sauce and noodles. He rummaged through our kitchen cabinets and brought a bag of cornmeal to my attention and asked, "why don't we make some real polenta instead?"
I'd never made polenta before and other than sitting by the stove to stir the pot for a half hour, it's not that hard to make. Just water and cornmeal. It was a nice creamy base to the marinara sauce and it just loved the parmesan cheese.
It's also fantastic with butter and parmesan cheese, as it tastes similar to roasted cuban corn on the cob. Mmm-mmm!
