Preparation

Step 1

Bring the water to a boil in a large heavy pot. Add the salt. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and the cornmeal is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the cheese, milk, butter, herbs and pepper. Stir until the butter and cheese melt. Transfer the polenta to a bowl and serve.
