Polenta by the Yard

To make a dramatic, communal dinner party dish, chef Michael Chiarello takes inspiration from ancient Tuscany.

Line a heatproof table with butcher paper. Pour just-prepared polenta onto the butcher paper and invite guests to grab spoons and forks, add toppings and dive in. Pass additional Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.

Sensational Toppings:

* Sausage and Peppers

* Bolognese Sauce

* Marinara Sauce

* Pesto Sauce
