How to prepare polenta with ragù

  1. Pour the water into a large pot, add salt, and bring it almost to a boil.
  2. Slowly sprinkle in the cornmeal, stirring continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
  3. Continue cooking according to the time indicated on the cornmeal packaging. Stir regularly, especially during the first few minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, pour the Traditional Bolognese Ragù into a saucepan and gently heat it over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. When the polenta is ready, spoon it into plates.
  6. Top each serving with the hot ragù and, if desired, a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano.

How to serve it

You can serve polenta with ragù as a first course or as a main course. For a rustic appetizer, let it cool, cut it into small rectangles, heat it in the oven, and top each portion with a spoon of ragù.

If there's any left over, pour the still-hot polenta into a lightly greased baking dish. Once cooled, you can slice it and gratinate it in the oven the next day.

The ragù used in this recipe

Prepared with carefully selected meats, our Traditional Bolognese Ragù cooks slowly for hours to develop a rich flavor and a consistency capable of coating the polenta.

It's ready to heat and allows you to prepare an authentic dish without starting cooking many hours in advance.
