Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt.

  2. 2

    Cook the Polenta

    Gradually whisk in 1 cup of polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the polenta thickens.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Mascarpone and Parmesan

    Once the polenta is cooked and has absorbed most of the water, remove it from heat. Stir in 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and creamy.

  4. 4

    Season and Garnish

    Add chopped chervil and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the mascarpone polenta into bowls and garnish with additional chervil if desired. Serve warm.
