In a large pot bring water to a boil. Whisk in polenta, add butter, salt and pepper.
Stir and cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese.
In medium saucepan, heat oil, add pancetta and cook until brown and crispy.
Add garlic, onion, zucchini, tomato puree, sugar, and chopped mint. Season with salt and black pepper .
Spoon polenta into bowls, top with sauce, garnish with crumbled feta.

Polenta is the perfect side, thanks to its unique texture and golden color. This recipe focuses on the rich flavors of the tomatoes themselves, which pair quite naturally with polenta.
