Categories     dinner, grains and rice, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup coarse polenta
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak polenta in cold water for 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drain polenta, then place in a heavy-bottomed pot or ovenproof baking dish. Add salt and 4 cups water.
  • Place pot in oven, cover, and bake for 45 minutes. (The polenta will begin to simmer and absorb water after a few minutes. No need to stir.)
  • After 45 minutes, uncover and stir in the olive oil, ricotta and Parmesan, but don't overmix. Some of the ricotta should remain in big blobs. The mixture may be a bit soupy at this point, but will thicken as it continues to cook. Bake, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, until top has browned. Finish with a generous amount of pepper.
