Rosemary Parmesan Polenta image

This recipe came from our local grocery store (Festival Foods). I made it for the family and it was a hit. I always make enough for two dinners worth. On the first night, I serve it soft. The leftovers I chill then fry in butter. For fried polenta, you can make this recipe up to two days in advance. Just keep in the fridge until ready to fry & serve.
