Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
3/4 cup quick-cook polenta
Kosher salt
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 ounces baby spinach, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, bring the chicken broth, oil, garlic and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and whisk in the polenta. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan, mascarpone, pecorino and butter. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Fold in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes longer. Add 1/4 cup water if the mixture gets too thick.
  • Pour the polenta into a large bowl and serve with grated Parmesan over the top.

This dish was a bit too creamy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less milk or cream. The spinach was a nice addition, but overall it was just okay.

This polenta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some cheese. The spinach was a nice addition, but overall it was just okay.
