Angela’s Italian Recipe for Polenta alla Gorgonzola

Polenta alla Gorgonzola

(Gorgonzola Cheese Polenta)

Ingredients:



5 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1 and 3/4 cups polenta (coarse cornmeal)
3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup whipping cream

Directions:

Bring 5 cups of the chicken broth to a boil in heavy 4-quart saucepan.

Gradually add polenta, whisking constantly. Return mixture to boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until polenta is tender, stirring frequently and adding more chicken broth by 1/4 cupfuls if polenta is too thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add Gorgonzola and cream; stir until cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 8.

Note: Polenta sets up quite quickly and becomes firmer after cooking, so plan on making it as close to serving time as you can manage.
