About Cheesy polenta
Cheesy Polenta is a hearty dish originating from Northern Italy, where polenta—a versatile cornmeal porridge—has been a staple for centuries. Made by simmering cornmeal with water or broth until creamy, this version is enriched with butter, milk, and flavorful cheeses such as Parmesan or cheddar. The result is a rich, velvety texture with a hint of tangy cheese. Polenta is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The dish provides carbohydrates for energy and contains calcium and protein from the cheese and milk. However, its healthfulness depends on portion size and added fats, as the butter and cheese can contribute to high calorie and saturated fat content. Cheesy Polenta can be enjoyed as a satisfying side or a comforting main dish paired with vegetables or lean proteins, balancing indulgence with nutritional value.
