Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 1/2 cups fat-free broth
1 cup uncooked cornmeal -- in the form of instant polenta
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups spinach -- baby leaves, stems removed, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese -- Parmigiano Reggiano recommended
1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
Heat broth to boiling over high heat in a medium-size, heavy-bottomed pot. Gradually add polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps; stir in salt, pepper, nutmeg and spinach.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes; stir in cheese and milk. Simmer until cheese melts, about 1 minute; serve immediately. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
Notes: Feel free to add more or less broth to this recipe depending on how thick you like your polenta. Serve the polenta as soon as it thickens to maintain its creaminess.
Chopped, cooked and drained broccoli makes a delicious alternative to the spinach.
