Here's how to make it: 

  1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepot. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and slowly pour in the cornmeal, whisking constantly. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin, cream cheese, cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with roasted pumpkin or pepita seeds, if desired.
