Try this classic combination for an easy Italian-inspired dinner. Creamy, Parmesan-enriched polenta is topped with hearty roasted mushrooms for the ultimate comfort food meal. For sharper flavor, try using pecorino Romano in place of Parmesan. You can look for the recipe for the Savory Mushrooms in the WeightWatchers® app. It makes a big batch, enough for this recipe and to have extra to stir into a batch of steamed rice or to fold into an omelet. If you'd like, you can make half a batch of the mushrooms and you will have just the right amount for this recipe.
