Rat- a- Tat Touille w/ Polenta And More

Polenta is corn meal mush. You can use the same cornmeal that you use for cornbread, but cook it like you would cream of wheat for about 20 minutes. Use a whisk in your sauce pan and add water as necessary. Add salt, pepper( red and black), garlic, parmesan cheese and Herbs De Provence or basil.

Serve the polenta with a red or marinara sauce or a spaghetti sauce of your choice. It is an excellent substitute for pasta.

If you turn the polenta into an oiled( olive or vegetable) pie pan and chill, you can slice it into pie like wedges and fry in oil in a pan or heat it in a microwave and serve it with appropriate( any) Italian sauces or even ratatouille or chili. Yes. It is great. Add accompaniments like sour cream, cheese, green onions, etc... .
