This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of zucchini and squash in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese and more vegetables.

This recipe is a keeper! The polenta and cheese create a creamy and flavorful base for the vegetables. I love that you can use any vegetables you have on hand.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish turned out terrible. The polenta was mushy and the cheese was not melted at all. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was okay. The polenta was a bit bland and the cheese was a bit too sharp for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of polenta, but I was pleasantly surprised! The polenta was cooked perfectly and the cheese and vegetables added a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious. The polenta added a nice touch of creaminess and the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. I would definitely make this again.
