Creamy Polenta
Iva
A couple of months ago I didn't know anything about polenta. I tasted polenta only one time in a restaurant before years ago and I didn't like it. I rediscovered polenta recently and I couldn't stop cooking it. It is so delicious and easy to prepare. The best part is that polenta is cooked very quickly and it is ready in 20 min. This is a good option when you don't have any time to cook dinner but you are starving. I hope you enjoy this meal and give it a try!
