Some consider polenta the ultimate Italian comfort food. But don’t stop there because it’s also a versatile pantry staple that can be served for any meal, even dessert

Parmesan Polenta with Quick Ragu
Use instant polenta for a meaty satisfying dinner that’s on the table in no time!
Crisp salty bacon and chard cooked just right are piled on creamy, cheesy polenta. This delicious side dish can also be a simple one-bowl dinner for two.
A boneless, skinless chicken breast is easier to stuff than you think. Simply cut chicken partway through, pound it evenly, brown on one side, fill, fold like a taco, and finish cooking. Delicious over a bowl of rosemary scented polenta.
This easy-to-make dessert is the perfect ending to any meal, any time of the year. In summer serve it with stone fruit or ice cream and in the fall with sautéed apple slices and whipped cream. Or keep this dessert simple and serve it warm from the pan.
