Polenta Squares

Not every dish needs to be a flavor explosion, sometimes subtle is better.  Here is an old-school Italian favorite.  I like to keep the recipe clean and simple, then give it oomph with your favorite sauce.  Serve with some sauteed broccoli rabe to round it out nicely.  Mangia!

In a small bowl, combine water with the cornmeal.  Then in a saucepan bring chicken broth to a boil.  Slowly add in the water/cornmeal mixture.  Stir constantly and boil for 4 minutes.  Pour into a greased 7×11 baking dish.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Cool until solid.  Cut into squares for serving with your favorite pasta sauce.
