Prepare the Polenta
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water or broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of polenta gradually, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
