parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive while still suitable for cooking.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Dried parsley is more economical and has a longer shelf life.

Prepare the polenta according to package instructions (instant polenta recommended for quicker cooking).

Once the polenta is ready, let it cool and then cut it into pieces.

Fry the polenta pieces until golden and crispy.

Prepare a sauce with the mushrooms (funghi porcini and champignon) to top the fried polenta.

Serve the fried polenta with the mushroom sauce, or with other toppings like cheeses or spicy ingredients.
