Ingredients
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup whole or reduced fat milk
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1 box frozen butternut squash, defrosted
2 teaspoons honey (eyeball it)
A dash of freshly grated nutmeg
4-5 sprigs thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (about 1-2 handfuls)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat a medium size saucepot over medium-high heat with the stock and milk. Bring the liquids to a simmer and stir in the polenta, whisking constantly so it doesn't clump.
Add the butternut squash to the polenta and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta has thickened, about 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the honey, nutmeg, thyme and cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately. This is one of many "Yum-o!" recipes – it's good and good for you. To find out more about Yum-o!, Rachael's nonprofit organization, go to www.yum-o.org.
