Creamy polenta is a comfort food like no other. This simple yet tasty dish is incredibly versatile and can be eaten as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Not only is it delicious and nourishing, but making it takes almost no effort at all.
In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk the polenta into the boiling water, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the polenta is thick and creamy, remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Polenta will thicken as it cools. Once cooled, it can be sliced and served as well.
