directions

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Sprinkle polenta into boiling liquid while stirring with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue stirring 1 to 2 minutes or until water is completely absorbed and polenta is cooked. Stir in the butter and cheese.
  • Spoon the mixture into an oiled 9x13-inch baking dish. Let polenta rest for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up while preparing the mushrooms and artichoke hearts.
  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, artichoke hearts, salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pasta sauce if using.
  • To serve, cut polenta into squares and top with mushroom mixture. Garnish with additional cheese or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired.
