Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add cornmeal and whisk briskly.
  2. Cook 5 minutes on high stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate non-stick skillet, heat olive oil on medium and add asparagus and briefly sauté. Add marinara sauce and bring to a simmer.
  4. Using the back of a wooden spoon, create 4 small craters in the marinara sauce. Crack 1 egg into each crater, cover and cook until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  5. For each serving place polenta in the bottom of a bowl and top with marinara sauce and an egg.
