Polenta with Pancetta and Mascarpone
(Serves 4)

1 cup Coarse Polenta
1/3 lb Mascarpone (at room temperature)
4 oz fried diced pancetta
1 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt

Fewer ingredients = better food. With that in mind, I heard of this recipe and tried it out. Try it and tell me what you think.

In 4 cups of boiling, salted water, add the polenta slowly so as not to form clumps. Stir constantly until it gets thick (some resistance to your wooden spoon) - about 10-15 minutes. Just before removing polenta from stove, toss in the pancetta. Plate in bowls topped with sea salt and a dollop of mascarpone. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions and Tips: How about a Sangiovese with this?
