Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups water, plus more as needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup coarse Italian polenta
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat, then add 2 teaspoons salt. Whisking constantly, add polenta in a slow, steady stream and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer. Cover partially; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is creamy and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 40 minutes, adding sage in last 5 minutes. If polenta is too thick to stir, add more water (up to 1/2 cup), a little at a time, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, and season with pepper and more salt, as desired. Serve hot.
