SERVING SIZE
Ingredients
- 3 3/4 cups water

- 1/2 t salt
- 2 T butter

Directions
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil with the salt, pepper and butter.
- Mix polenta and Parmesan with remaining 1 3/4 cups water, and gradually whisk this mixture into the boiling water.
- Whisk constantly until it returns to a boil, then lower heat and cook about 30 minutes, whisking frequently to prevent lumping. Be careful when whisking because polenta splatters.
