Number Of Ingredients 12

1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

  • Use a good cheese: Gorgonzola is the traditional cheese used in polenta, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Parmesan, Asiago, or Fontina.
  • Serve the polenta immediately: Polenta is best served hot, so make sure to serve it right away.

Polenta with Gorgonzola is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are a beginner cook or an experienced chef, you are sure to enjoy this classic Italian dish.
