Delicious cheesy mushroom ragu served over polenta squares. A quick and easy vegetarian entree or appetizer idea. Sophisticated taste without the fuss!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Roth Cheese. The opinions and text are all mine.

Mushroom Ragu Over Polenta Squares

Welcome to paradise! This dish will transport your taste buds and nostrils into pure bliss. This mushroom ragu is not only quick to make, but it is also delicious, addictive, and sophisticated.

I just love it when simple flavors are put together to become something magical. The polenta is both flavorful and creamy while the mushroom ragu is bold and meaty. Finally, what brings this dish to a whole new level is adding a combination of cheeses on top.

Let’s face it, your weekly dinner menu needs a new recipe to place in the rotation. This Mushroom Ragu with polenta is perfect! Not only is it gluten-free, it is also vegetarian. What I love the most is the versatility.

Cut them up into smaller squares and serve them as mini appetizers. Serve them stacked together as an entree, or not. Your choice. You can also cut them up in circles for a different presentation and if you’re pressed for time, use store-bought polenta (shhh I won’t tell). This dish is simple enough for a weeknight dinner, yet sophisticated enough for entertaining guests.

For the top of the dish and the polenta, I used Roth Ultimate Mac & Cheese blend. It has a combination of Grand Cru (a Roth Cheese original), Havarti, and Sharp Cheddar cheeses. Bold, silky, and irresistible.

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 Cup red wine
  • 1/4 Cup heavy Cream

Assembly

Instructions

For Polenta

  • Line an 8x8" square pan with foil. Spray all over with nonstick spray
  • In a big heavy saucepan, boil the water with a bit of salt
  • Quickly add the cornmeal and reduce the heat to low. Whisk constantly to prevent lumps
  • When mixture becomes creamy and thick, about 3-4 minutes, add the butter, cheese, salt and pepper and mix with a wooden spoon until the cheese has melted
  • Place polenta inside prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon
  • Let the polenta cool in the fridge for an hour

For Mushroom Ragu

  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the butter and olive oil
  • Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute
  • Add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms have softened. About 4-5 minutes
  • Pour the wine and cook until the liquid has reduced significantly. About 3-4 minutes
  • Add salt and pepper
  • Add the heavy cream and stir until the mushrooms are creamy and the cream has reduced. 2-3 minutes

Assembly

  • Preheat Oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit
  • Line a sheet pan with foil and spray non-stick spray
  • Remove cooled polenta from fridge
  • Cut into equal squares and place on the lined pan
  • Bake for 5 minutes on each side
  • Divide the mushroom mixture in between the squares
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top
  • Place sheet pan back in the oven and bake for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted
  • Enjoy!
