Polenta with Fresh Vegetables

Directions

3. While the polenta is cooking, coat a nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium. Add the mushrooms and onions and saute until liquid has cooked down (4-5 minutes).
4. Add the broccoli and zucchini and saute until veggies reach desired texture (3-4 minutes).
5. When the polenta is done, top with the cooked vegetables. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and herbs to taste. Serve immediately.
