Directions

1. Combine milk, salt and 3 cups (750 mL) water in a deep saucepan. Bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually sprinkle in cornmeal, whisking constantly, until incorporated. 2. Switch to a wooden spoon to stir. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently, stirring and adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil, for about 10 minutes or until thick enough to mound on a spoon, the grains are tender and polenta is fairly smooth. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan and basil. Season with pepper to taste, if desired.
