Ingredients

1 cup polenta
4 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta and salt, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and purple sprouting broccoli. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
