"Green, greener, the greenest! Finally, the sun is out. That calls for green spring vegetables gracing on top of creamy, flavorful polenta – and don't forget, cheese! We opted for frozen broccoli, peas and herbs here so the recipe doesn't get too expensive and still stays fresh and crunchy. Plus, it saves time for preparation."
