Ingredients

  • servings salt and pepper freshly ground
  • tablespoons sage fresh finely chopped
  • cup polenta italian
  • tablespoons butter unsalted room temperature
  • cups water as needed plus more

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • whisk

Directions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat, then add 2 teaspoons salt.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, and season with pepper and more salt, as desired.
  4. Serve hot.
