Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray:
  • water: 3 cups
  • polenta: 1 cup
  • salt: (to taste)
  • butternut squash: 1 cup (mashed)
  • sour cream: 0.5 cup (optional)
  • cheddar cheese: 0.5 cup (grated, optional)
