INGREDIENTS

  • Broth and Base

    • 🍲 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 3/4 cup polenta
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Cheese and Dairy

    • 🧀 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 🧀 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
    • 🧈 1 1/2 teaspoons butter

  • Sauce and Toppings

    • 8 ounces marinara sauce
    • 2 slices prosciutto, shredded

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.

2

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan, and whisk in polenta and salt. Cook the polenta, stirring continuously, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

3

Stir in Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella, and butter into the thickened polenta. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until polenta is fairly firm, about 40 minutes.

5

Remove polenta from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Spread marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and shredded prosciutto.

6

Bake again until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
