Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 1/2 cup instant polenta
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually whisk in the instant polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. While the polenta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice zucchini into thin rounds and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet with zucchini and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Chop fresh basil finely and set aside.
  5. Spoon the creamy polenta into bowls. Top with sautéed zucchini and cherry tomatoes.
  6. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, and garnish with chopped basil.
