Instructions
Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk in the polenta and butter. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to bring the ingredients together and prevent the polenta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat. Add 5 ounces of the cheese and stir until melted. Serve in bowls, topped with a little more cheese and, if you wish, shaved truffles.
