Better than French fries—and a great snack or appetizer. You can use other dipping sauces, but the simplicity of a good marinara is hard to beat here.

Cooks' Note

When I make polenta I like to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan because it cooks the polenta evenly and helps develop rich, creamy, sweet corn flavor.
