Polenta with Parmesan Cheese is a hearty dish rooted in Italian cuisine, traditionally made with ground cornmeal simmered with water or broth to create a creamy texture. This comforting staple is enhanced with a savory touch by stirring in grated Parmesan cheese, adding richness and a burst of flavor. Polenta is naturally gluten-free and offers a good source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. It also contains small amounts of iron and B vitamins from the cornmeal. However, the addition of Parmesan cheese increases the sodium and fat content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Versatile and satisfying, this dish can be served as a side or main course, pairing well with roasted vegetables, proteins, or sauces. Polenta’s simplicity and adaptability make it a cherished and nourishing choice for many seeking a blend of tradition and taste.
