Being from an Eastern European family from Romania, we have been eating "mamaliga" for as long as I can remember. Excellant tip on salting the cooking liquids. And I also gave a first-time shot at adding the mascarpone...that's a good one too! We Romanians prefer the coarse grit corn meal, so I use a 4-1 liquid-to-cornmeal ratio rather than the 3-1 as recommended here. Just finished making my batch, and added about a cup of roasted,chopped New Mexico green chilis, and a large handful of oven roasted cherry tomatoes. Going to serve tonite w/ (leftover sliced ribeye steak salad. Once again, AB...marry me!!

Delish!...no need to cut the polenta in rounds...avoid waste and just cut them square..I also added about two pressed teaspoons of brown sugar to my sauce to cut acid and deepen color. I am thinking and thinking...about making these polenta cakes more savory..it's a keeper..thanks Anne..this was my first time cooking with polenta, I will do it again. I used (probably more than a teaspoon of salt...surely got to taste this as you go! :-

This was a very good dinner. Like several other reviewers, I used store bought sausage. I REALLY added a lot of salt to the polenta. I followed Anne's instructions and just kept tasting as it cooked. I made sure it was perfectly creamy and tasting yummy before taking it off the stove. I was so cautious with this step because I had made polenta once before and did not like it. I loved Anne's!

WOW! This dish was fabulous. Used store bought sausage and added a
little sugar to the sauce to cut the acid taste. Also added a little of the parmesan cheese to the polenta. I have never made homemade polenta before(I'm Italian and this turned out great! Don't be afraid to use the salt, I had to throw out my first batch due to lack of adding enough salt. This is a winner and I will be making it again and again. Thanks Anne!!

This dish is so good! I didnt make my own sausage because I already had turkey sausage in the fridge. This is my first time making/eating polenta and I love it. I didn't season it very well so next time im gonna add a lot more salt just like anne does :
