How to make it

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Make sure it is hot but not vigorously boiling.

  2. 2

    Slowly whisk in the polenta in a steady stream, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low.

  3. 3

    Continue to stir frequently for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the polenta is creamy, thick, and cooked through. It should pull away from the sides of the pan.

  4. 4

    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese and the drained sun-dried tomatoes until everything is well combined and the cream cheese has melted into a smooth consistency.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the fresh basil leaves. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately while it is warm and wonderfully creamy.
