Basic Cheese Polenta
Why buy polenta in a box when you can make it from scratch cheaper? A great day-before dish. Once the polenta has been refrigerated serve it in a variety of different ways: sliced and fried--or serve it immediately as a mashed potato or rice substitute!
Vegan Baked Polenta with Radicchio
Creamy polenta, vegan cheese blend, and flavorful radicchio meet in this vegan meal. This is an adaptation of a popular dish from the Lombardy region of Italy. It typically uses fatty cheeses and butter. This version offers all the flavor without animal fats, making it perfect for vegan diets or for anyone looking to reduce fats in their diet.
Sauteed Shrimp over Polenta
Red peppers, plum tomatoes, onion, sauteed shrimp... simple, succulent, and flavorful over creamy polenta. Sprinkle additional Parmesan on top if desired.

Calzagatti (Pan-Fried Polenta and Beans)
From Italy's Emilia-Romagna, creamy polenta and cranberry beans are cooked together and then pan-fried. This particular version hails from Modena, famous for sports cars and Luciano Pavarotti. This recipe can also be called "casagai" or "cazzagai". This street food makes a lovely snack or appetizer and is best served with a light red wine. Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a salad for a light meal.
Polenta Taragna with Taleggio and Radicchio

Served piping hot with grilled radicchio, this is found on lunch menus around the Valtellina region. It's delicious served with grilled sausage and hearty red wine.

Air Fryer Polenta Pizza Bites
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and gooey melty cheese on top. If Italian herb polenta is not available, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the rounds after brushing with EVOO. I like these as they are but feel free to dip in pizza or marinara sauce for that extra pizza kick. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Creamy Polenta with Roasted Corn and Fresh Sage
This side dish is great served hot and topped with Parmesan cheese, or chilled, cut into shapes and then griddled.
Baked Polenta with Sausage
Rich, tomato-based casserole made with sweet Italian sausage, baked in a polenta crust and topped with mozzarella cheese. This is a great substitution for your typical pasta dish. Serve with a green salad and a loaf of Italian bread - doesn't get much better than this!
