Basic Polenta

First time making polenta, and it came out amazing. polenta can be served soft, right after cooking, or poured into a baking pan to cool. once cool, the polenta can be cut into squares, and served with your favorite pasta sauce. or, once it is cooled, cut the polenta into 1 x 2" sticks abd fry lightly in some olive oil until golden. the possibilities are endless."
