For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth for the water. Stir in a knob of butter and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking for extra creaminess. To avoid splattering, consider using a splatter screen while cooking the polenta. Leftover polenta can be refrigerated and then sliced and pan-fried or grilled for a delicious side dish.
