this is the last installment of the polenta recipes as found in The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian. this is a every interesting and informative book!! so if you love true "Italian" cooking i suggest getting this cookbook:> Heat a 10 to 12-quart heavy-bottom stainless steel kettle, and add the oil, garlic, onion, celery, and carrot. Saute until the onion is transparent, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the panchetta and saute 5 more minutes. Add the parsley, chicken stock, white wine, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and simmer gently, partly covered, for 2 hours. Add the butter, cream, sage, and cheese and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Skim the fat from the top of the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by Pete or Julie Caler <petec@...> on Apr 28, 1997
