Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup water
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large zucchini, shredded and drained on a paper towel
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Mix the cornmeal and water together in a small bowl.
  • Bring the broth and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and slowly add cornmeal, stirring for about 2 minutes or until the polenta is smooth (use a long-handled spoon to stir the polenta; it bubbles up and will burn).
  • Remove pan from heat; add in zucchini, cheddar cheese, and butter; stir until well mixed and cheese is melted.
  • Spread mixture into an 8-inch square glass baking dish that has been coated lightly with cooking spray.
  • Spoon tomato sauce over the top; sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in a 350° oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until heated through.
  • Let stand 5 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover zucchini. I'll definitely be making it again.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

I had some trouble getting the polenta to cook evenly. I think I might have used too much water.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I would probably add some more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of polenta, but I really enjoyed this dish. The zucchini and tomato sauce really helped to balance out the flavor.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more salt to the polenta.

This zucchini polenta was an absolute delight! The combination of flavors and textures was divine. The crispy polenta crust, the tender zucchini, and the tangy tomato sauce came together perfectly.
