  • Add salt in the end to the ragu, otherwise mushroom will sweat and the ragu will get watery.

  • You may add any kind of cheese you like to the polenta.

  • If you happen to make too much polenta, you can freeze the leftover and later make polenta fries.

  • Use fresh herbs if you have on hand.
