Creamy Parmesan Polenta
This creamy parmesan polenta was a simple recipe and was creamy, cheesy, and delicious. It paired perfectly with the Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin and the Pan Roasted Bell Peppers with Garlic and Thyme. My husband and I both loved this creamy Parmesan polenta. My kids said it was okay but not as good as mashed potatoes.

Hi Pam. How you been? I love Polenta! Italian grits!
Miss your posts, and I miss blogging!!
XO Kris
Looks utterly delicious!
I like that you cooked it in milk and broth vs. water.
One of my co-workers recently turned me on to polenta. It is not something I grew up with and I think there is a lot of art in its preparation. I am going to have to give this a try it looks absolutely amazing!
he chicken broth must have added such a great depth of flavour to the polenta Pam 🙂
So delicious. Love when polenta is creamy and your recipe looks perfect.
So glad you’ve got polenta in your life now! It’s one of my favorite easy sides.
Your children are very lucky to have a mother who cooks them such delicious meals. This looks wonderful, as do all the other dishes you share. Thank you for sharing them and have a great week 🙂
