- Gnocci alla Romana
-
- 250 grams / 8.8 oz of semolina flour
- 1 litre (1000 ml)/4.22 cups of milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 100-200 ml / 0.42-0.85 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- a large knob of butter, melted
- salt
- In a medium saucepan cook the milk and the semolina flour until it has thickened and become like porridge.
- Add the egg yolks, a pat of butter and salt and stir well.
- Pour out the whole batch out onto a flat surface, preferably lined with baking paper, and smooth and flatten it so
that you have a large rectangle that is 1 cm high/thick.
- With a greased glass or a cookie cutter so that the semolina doesn't stick, cut out circles. You can also
simply do it the easy way and cut squares with a knife.
- Put the semolina circles into a buttered oven-proof dish, sprinkle the cheese over and pour melted butter over the
top of whole dish.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven 200°C (392°F) until it is golden.
- Serve warm.
