How to Make Rosemary Polenta

  1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
  2. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick and creamy. Stir in the rosemary during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  5. Serve immediately or let cool completely before serving. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
