This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

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.
