Instructions
1
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add salt and stir.
2
Gradually whisk in the polenta in a steady stream to avoid lumps.
3
Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes until the polenta thickens.
4
Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
5
Remove from heat and gently fold in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, leaving some pieces partially melted for texture.
6
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately while hot.
Chef's Tips
- Consistency Tip: For creamier polenta, replace half the water with milk or cream.
- Cheese Variations: Try using other blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton if Gorgonzola is unavailable.
- Herb Addition: Stir in fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Leftovers: Leftover polenta can be cooled, sliced, and pan-fried for a different texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Top with sautéed mushrooms or crispy pancetta for added richness.
