Polenta With Bacon Ragu

Polenta is my favorite dish! I love to try different flavors when I'm preparing it. Adding bacon is always a good idea.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a frying pan with olive oil, sauté garlic until it is almost blackened, then add the bacon and continue sautéing until the bacon is crisp.

* Step 2

Drain excess oil from pan and pour in the passata, basil, oregano, pepper and wine. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.

* Step 3

While the Ragu is simmering, start preparing the polenta. Begin boiling 2 3/4 cups of water.

* Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the corn meal and salt with the remaining cup of water.

* Step 5

Once the water starts boiling, slowly add the cornmeal/water combo into the boiling water and stir constantly. Also add the butter. Stir constantly.

* Step 6

Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and continue simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often. About halfway through, add the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring.
