I like polenta, but will not be making this one again.

I loved this. I never would have thought to add parmesan cheese and nutmeg, but was very good. I served this with Kittencal's Marinara Pasta Sauce. If any of you have trouble with lumps, add the two cups of cornmeal to two cups of cold water, stir and then add to the six cups of boiling water. Thanks for a great recipe Bergy.

So, BF just said to me, "Polenta is the best thing in THE WORLD" so I guess you could say we liked this! I served it with a prosciutto tomato-cream sauce and Dilled Green Beans (#99432). What a wonderful dinner! TERRIFIC comfort food. This is only my second try at polenta and the last recipe was less than successful (and certainly didn't make BF rave and lick his plate like this one did!). I made the whole recipe and filled a 8" cake pan and a yogurt container (one of the big 1lb ones) which I plan to freeze for later and maybe try my hand at grilled polenta rounds. This was actually fantasticly easy to make- I was a little worried that the directions were a little vague, but I just simmered for 40 minutes and baked til golden and everything worked out perfectly. Crisp delightful crust, light parmesean flavor, rich without being heavy (I did substitue some butter with olive oil) and like Lennie said, a lovely custardy texture. BF loved this so much- he started eating the polenta out of the pan with a spoon and was howling when I told him to stop! I am SURE a certain someone will insist I make this again! Thanks for a great one.

YUMMY! This was the first time I have ever made polenta and it was divine! It was also quite easy to make. I cut the butter to about 2 oz and only used 4 oz of cheese to cut the fat content. It was still delicious. I served this with the Swiss Chard, feta and pine nut recipe. My dinner was a huge success! Even my 3-year olds ate it!
