Polenta Pasticciata
POLENTA WITH CREAM SAUCE AND MUSHROOMS
To serve 6
1 recipe Polenta
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese
3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

   At least 2 hours prior, prepare Polenta as per recipe.

   BESCIAMELLA FOR POLENTA: In a heavy 2- to 3-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat and stir in the flour. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the milk and cream, beating with a wire whisk until the flour is partially dissolved. Then return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring constantly with the whisk, until the sauce comes to a boil and is thick and smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer, still stirring, for 2 or 3 minutes to remove any raw taste. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Then add 1/2 cup of the grated cheese and set the pan aside.

   Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet and in it cook the sliced mushrooms, tossing them constantly with a spoon, for 3 or 4 minutes, or until they glisten with butter and are lightly colored.

   Preheat the oven to 375°. Cut the polenta in half crosswise and lay one half in a buttered shallow 8-by-8-inch baking-and-serving dish. Spread half the mushrooms over the polenta and spoon half the besciantella on them. Place the second half of the polenta on top of the sauce and spread it with the rest of the mushrooms and besciamella . Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese and sauce are browned and bubbling. Gently cut into squares. Serve at once.
