I found it quite quick and easy to make too. There was heaps leftover. I don't know if the polenta top would freeze.
em - thanks for the yummy recipe, we really enjoyed this, my 1 yr loved it and so did the rest of us. Love these sorts of recipes!
Twitterpated - Made this last night despite being the only one in the family who really likes polenta. Wasn't really sure how it would go but was surprisingly very tasty. Family have said they would suffer the polenta again as it really wasn't that bad. Going for a stronger tasting cheese next time as I think this would make it tastier. Thanks for posting farfallina.
