POLENTA FLORENTINE
This is an adaptation of ClareVH's "Recipe #84268". I feel it gives the polenta that extra Italian flair. Hearty all on it's own as a vegetarian dish (with the vegetable broth, of course) but also great as a side dish.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT POLENTA
Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a perfect base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.

Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; pour polenta slowly into boiling water, whisking constantly until all polenta is stirred in and there are no lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking often, until polenta starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Polenta mixture should still be slightly loose. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, whisking every 5 to 6 minutes. When polenta is too thick to whisk, stir with a wooden spoon. Polenta is done when texture is creamy and the individual grains are tender.
- Turn off heat and gently stir 2 tablespoons butter into polenta until butter partially melts; mix 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into polenta until cheese has melted. Cover and let stand 5 minutes to thicken; stir and taste for salt before transferring to a serving bowl. Top polenta with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and about 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish.

Steps:
- Blanch spinach briefly in a large pot of boiling water, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Squeeze all excess moisture from spinach and roughly chop.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach and ricotta. Season with salt and pepper, then add cayenne, lemon zest, half the Parmesan and all but 2 tablespoons of the fontina and stir well.
- Butter a 9- by 12-inch casserole dish. Ladle in half of the warm, soft polenta and spread with a spatula to make a thin layer. Spoon spinach mixture evenly over it. Top with remaining soft polenta and spread to smooth the surface. (May be made ahead up to this point, then covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before baking.)
- Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and fontina. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Chop off the top portion of the garlic head to reveal cloves. Peel any excess paper/skin off from the bulb of garlic. Place the cloves onto a piece of tin foil and pour about a teaspoon of olive oil on top. Cover with the foil. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown and soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool five minutes. Squeeze the garlic out of the paper skin into a bowl and mash well with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat a large oven safe brasier or sided skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, once hot, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Sear on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate. Drizzle with lemon juice.
- To the same pan, add the butter. Once melted add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute or until bubbly. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking as you add the milk. Stir in the cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil. Place the egg yolk in a small bowl and whisk in about 1/3 cup of the warm milk mixture. Whisk the egg yolk mixture into cream sauce until smooth. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Add the chicken and thawed spinach to the sauce. Make sure the chicken is immersed in the sauce. Sprinkle the top of the dish with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Place in the preheated 400 degree oven for 20-15 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
