Classic Italian ingredients are combined in this tasty and quick to make recipe. Feel free to vary the vegetables according to your taste or seasonal availability. Quark works really well as a change from the ricotta cheese. Ingredients:

100 g ricotta cheese |
3 -4 tablespoons pesto sauce |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
100 g baby corn, halved lengthwise |

100 g asparagus spears |
100 g peas (fresh or frozen) |
parmesan cheese, shavings |
chopped fresh parsley |

2. Meanwhile, steam cook the vegetables for 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove the polenta from the heat and beat in the pesto sauce and seasoning (to taste).
