Cheesy polenta is an easy and versatile side dish. Simply bring 3 cups of water or low-sodium chicken broth to a boil and whisk in instant polenta.

Cook until the grains dissolve, adding more liquid if needed.

Before serving, stir in your favorite shredded cheese, salt, and pepper and if desired, fresh or dried herbs such as oregano or thyme. For creamy polenta, add a touch of milk or cream before serving.

 Polenta is truly an Italian national dish, and may have a history much more ancient than either pasta or pizza. Poor Northern Italians subsisted on little more than polenta for centuries.
