Bring the water to a boil with half the salt and whisk in the cornmeal in a thin stream.
Cook the polenta over low heat for 32 minutes, stirring often.
Slice the mushrooms, finely chop the garlic, and prepare the parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and saute the mushrooms for 8 minutes, until their liquid evaporates.
Add the garlic, remaining salt, and black pepper, then toss for 2 more minutes.
Stir the butter and grated cheese into the polenta until glossy.
Spread the polenta onto plates, top with mushrooms and parsley, and serve.
💡 Tip: Sprinkle the cornmeal into the boiling water like rain; pouring it in all at once creates firm lumps in a home pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve polenta con funghi hot, or build it into a main plate with optional arugula salad or roast chicken on the side.
