Creamy Polenta image

Cooking the polenta covered allows condensation to build up, which eliminates the need for constant stirring. And you can still count on the creamy consistency you've come to expect from this dish.

I would have liked the polenta to be a bit more cheesy.

The polenta was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was spot on. Next time I'll add a little more liquid.

This dish was easy to make and very satisfying. I used almond milk instead of regular milk and it turned out great.

I've made polenta many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of cream and Parmesan cheese makes it so creamy and decadent.

This creamy polenta recipe was a hit! The texture was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was rich and cheesy. I added some sautéed mushrooms and roasted peppers for extra flavor, and it was delicious.
