Not fancy just plain old comfort food that makes a nice vegetarian main dish when served with a baby green salad and a glass of red wine. I use homemade Mascarpone (include in this recipe) or you can buy Mascarpone, but please do *Not use plain cream cheese* This is my version of a recipe from the complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook. The servings on this recipe are good size.

1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Pour 8 cups water into a heavy saucepan set over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, add the and lower heat to medium. Whisk in the cornmeal in a slow, steady stream. Make sure to whisk the cornmeal continuously to prevent lumps from forming. This will take about 2 minutes. Contiue whisking as the cornmeal comes back to a boil. Simmer, whisking contstantly, unitl the polenta starts to thicken about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat until the polenta is at very low simmer. Cover the pan and cook very slowly, stirring every 10 minutes or so, for 35 to 40 minutes.

  • Add the oil and rosemary to the pan and saute until the rosemary is tender and has infused the oil, about 2 minutes. Stir in the walnuts and cook for 1 to 2 minutes just to coat them with the oil and rosemary. Cover and keep warm until the polenta is ready.
