Polenta is a dish from north Italian, traditionally made of coarsely ground corn.
When cooked fresh, polenta is soft and creamy and makes a fantastic bed for sauces or a side dish to accompany various proteins. Incorporating mascarpone into polenta takes the rich and creamy element to another level and can be the perfect complement to both sweet and savory dishes.
