My husband didn't think he'd like it at all but loved it - and he loves this entree version featuring ground turkey in a sauce that highlights A1, served over the creamy polenta with mascarpone and fresh corn. The tangy sauce is a great pairing with the rich polenta - making for a very satisfying dish!

VEGETABLE RAGU WITH CREAMY MASCARPONE POLENTA RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Vegetable Ragu with Creamy Mascarpone Polenta Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 24

RAGU:
2 medium-sized zucchini, sliced about 1/4- thick
2 medium-sized yellow squash, sliced about 1/4- thick
1 carrot, sliced about 1/4- thick
1 red or yellow onion, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 can diced tomatoes, low-salt preferred)
1 can tomato sauce (low-salt preferrred)
2 tablespoons tomato pasta
1/4 cup red wine (optional, but my preference)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon sugar
Olive oil (for sauteeing the vegetables)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Note: Use whatever vegetables you prefer, as this recipe is very versatile
POLENTA:
1 cup water
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup corn meal
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mascarpone (you can substitute cream cheese, or leave it out completely)
Chicken stock (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, add enough olive oil for an even coat. Heat on medium high-heat. Add the vegetables to the hot skillet, and season with salt & pepper to taste.Saute the vegetables, on medium high heat, until soft (but just a little al dente) until golden brown. Because the squash cooks faster than the carrots and onion, I cooked them separately and a bit longer. When the last batch of vegetables is at the end of sauteeing, add the minced garlic. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and remove the vegetables and set aside. You want to see some browning on the bottom of the pan, after cooking all the vegetables. This is where the flavor comes from. For flavor building, add a generous splash of red wine to the hot skillet. (You could opt out of the wine by substituting a chicken or vegetable broth). Deglaze the pan, scraping up all the flavor bits from the skillet. Add the tomato paste, whisking and cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce; add the Italian seasoning and sugar*. *The sugar is to balance out the acidity of the tomato sauce. Stir until combined and bubbly hot. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking. Note: The reason I prefer to use low-salt tomato products is so that I can control the salt-intake. Add the vegetables to the sauce and stir to combine; reduce heat to low. Polenta: Bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the milk. Slowly whisk in the corn meal, which will begin to thicken very quickly. Reduce the heat. Add the Parmesan cheese, butter, and mascarpone and whisk until melted and combined. Taste for seasoning. To keep the Polenta warm (up to 20 minutes), cover with a lid. To serve, if the Polenta is too thick, you can smooth it out by adding a little low-salt chicken stock, milk or water.

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For polenta
4 1/2 cups water
1 cup coarse stone-ground white grits (preferably organic)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For mushrooms
1 lb assorted fresh exotic mushrooms such as porcini, oyster, chanterelle, lobster, and hedgehog
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
For serving
1/2 cup mascarpone
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Make polenta:
  • Bring water to a simmer in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Add grits in a slow stream, whisking until incorporated. Simmer, stirring occasionally with a long-handled whisk or wooden spoon, until liquid is absorbed and polenta is thick and soft, about 30 minutes. (Grits will have a loose, risotto-like consistency.) Remove from heat and stir in cream, cheese, salt, and pepper. Keep warm, covered.
  • Sauté mushrooms while polenta simmers:
  • If using porcini, halve if large, then slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. If using oysters, trim spongy base if necessary and slice caps into 1/2-inch-wide strips. If using chanterelles, leave small mushrooms whole, halve if medium, and quarter if large. If using lobsters, cut into 1/2-inch pieces. If using hedgehogs, trim base of stems and halve caps if large.
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and any liquid they give off is evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add water, butter, lemon juice, and parsley and heat, swirling skillet, until butter melts and liquid forms a sauce.
  • To serve:
  • Top each serving of polenta with mushrooms and mascarpone. Serve immediately (polenta stiffens as it cools), sprinkled with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Tips:

  • For a creamier polenta, use half milk and half water.
  • If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute cream cheese.
  • To make the polenta ahead of time, cook it according to the package directions and then spread it out in a greased 9x13 inch pan. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the polenta in a greased skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
  • To make the turkey bolognese ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the bolognese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, reheat the bolognese over medium heat until warmed through.
  • To assemble the dish, simply spoon the polenta into bowls and top with the turkey bolognese. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

This creamy mascarpone polenta with turkey bolognese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The polenta is creamy and flavorful, and the turkey bolognese is hearty and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
