Soft Oven Polenta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (32 ounce) container vegetable broth or (32 ounce) container chicken broth
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup yellow cornmeal
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 cup cheese, any type,shredded or crumbled (I prefer Bleu)
    1 tablespoon minced parsley (for serving) (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
    Spray a 2-quart oven-proof casserole with non-stick spray.
    Combine broth, salt, cornmeal and butter in the casserole and stir well.
    Bake for 40 minutes.
    remove from oven and add shredded cheese; stir well.
    Return to oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
    Remove from oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
    Garnish with parsley to serve as a side dish, or use instead of pasta with sauces.
    *Note1: refrigerated leftovers will firm up, and can be fried like mush.
    *Note2: According to the original instructions, if you double the recipe, you must double the cooking time too.
