Polenta with Asparagus and Goat Cheese

This is a great end of summer dish! It is filling yet also refreshing. The asparagus isn't soft and mushy because it gets sauteed in EVOO and the goat cheese bring a coolness to the dish that balances the heavy warmth of the polenta.



Polenta with Asparagus and Goat Cheese
1 cup Polenta
4 cups water
1 bunch asparagus, chopped
EVOO
1/2 cup goat cheese

Heat the EVOO in a pan and saute the asparagus for about 10 minutes until it is a bright green color.  Set this aside while you make the polenta. Bring the water to a boil and stir in the polenta.  Cook the polenta over medium heat, stirring continuously for 3 minutes.





Spoon out the polenta onto a plate or bowl. Top with the aspargus and crumbled goat cheese.
