This is good, especially with the ragout of mushrooms, though I personally think a little less cream cheese would be fine. Also, the extra cup of stock is unnecessary unless you like your polenta rather thin.
Creamy Polenta
Polenta can be found in the gourmet or international section of the grocery store. Don't let the polenta boil, or it will spatter.
