Ingredients

6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Very good, if a bit salty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I only made a half a batch because it looked like the full recipe would make a lot. It has good texture and flavor, but it's... too salty. Next time I'll leave out the salt. Read more

Very bland, I had to doctor it up
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was very disappointed in this recipe, especially after reading so many rave reviews. If I made it again, I would definitely... use chicken broth or stock in place of the water, I would at least quadruple the salt and double the herbs. Making it according to the recipe make it taste very very bland to me. It does make a TON, but you can use the leftovers to make a baked polenta or see some of Paula Deen's baked polenta appetizer recipes. Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this to the exact recipe to compliment Giadas 'Veal Saltimbocca' . Pair with the sauce from the Veal dish. Oh My... God...its amazing! I had leftover Polenta...the recipe make 6 cups...and I ate it for breakfast the next mornig. I make this dish(w/ the veal) often. Its a hit with all! A must try combo!Read more
