"This recipe is a basic preparation for making a smooth, creamy version of polenta and we've found that it works consistently no matter what brand of cornmeal we use. This version is flavored with a combination of asiago and Parmesan cheese and a healthy quantity of garlic, but those are variables that can easily be changed according to taste. Polenta makes a nice side dish for a variety of entrées, especially when there's a sauce to spoon on top. Give it a try in place of pasta or potatoes - it's easy to prepare and makes a nice change of pace...."
