Method
Adapted from foodista.com
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wrap 6 thick asparagus spears with two slices of raw bacon.
- Place on a small baking sheet.
- Spritz the bundle with nonstick cooking spray, just to coat the asparagus lightly.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
- Make the cheddar polenta while the asparagus is roasting. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Stir in polenta.
- Lower the heat.
- Cook slowly for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in the cheese. I used extra sharp cheddar, but any kind would work.
- Add a dash of salt and pepper, or more to taste.
- Scoop the polenta in a dish and top with the bacon wrapped asparagus.
