This was wonderful and rich....obviously if you don't want the fat....don't make the recipe! It needs the fat(butter,mascrapone) to make it...that is what the recipe is based on! I added browned mushrooms on top. VERY good! Thak you for the recipe:)

This recipe has way, way too much fat. There must be a mistake in the amount of the ingredients. I tried it out and ended up with polenta literally swimming in a pool of fat. Not eatable! I believe that the amount of fat, specifically the cream and butter, can be cut by 2/3 and there might still be excessive fat.
