INSTRUCTIONS
4 SERVINGS LACTO
Though it tastes rich, this sophisticated "comfort food" is surprisingly
low in fat. A combination of cornstarch and flour gives the sauce its
creamy texture.
Fill sink with water. Add spinach, removing any large stems if desired; pat
down to remove any grit. Transfer leaves to large pot in batches. Place pot
over high heat, cover and cook until spinach is just wilted, about 5
minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Squeeze to remove
excess moisture. Coarsely chop spinach and set aside.
In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion, cover and
cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. In small
bowl, whisk together milk, cornstarch, flour and salt. Increase heat to
medium and gradually whisk milk mixture into onion. Cook, stirring
constantly, until mixture is steaming hot and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove
from heat. Stir in Gorgonzola if desired, tomato and spinach. Cover to keep
warm.
Polenta: Prepare polenta according to package directions, using 4 cups
water and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Spoon polenta into shallow bowls. Top with
spinach mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
