Roman Gnocchi (Gnocchi alla Romana)

I hate semolina since kindergarten! But when I tasted this delicious dish, I asked: “What is it made of?” I was very surprised when I realized that the main component is semolina! Quickly and using available products, you can create a wonderful hearty dish!

Summary

Ingredients

• Semolina – 250 g
• Milk – 1 l (or 500 ml water + 500 ml milk)
• Butter – 100 g
• Egg – 1 pc.
• Salt
• Nutmeg
• Ground white pepper
• Parmesan cheese – 50 g
• Hard cheese – 100 g

Instructions

1. Bring the milk to a boil, salt, add nutmeg, and half the butter. Stir.

   

2. Gradually add semolina, stirring all the time. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
3. Add grated parmesan and egg. We check for salt. Dump the resulting mass onto a cutting board.
4. We tamp with handles. It turns out a layer 1-1.5 cm high. Leave to cool slightly. Grease the form with butter.
5. Cut out the gnocchi with a cookie cutter or glass. Tamp the remaining mass again and cut out the round pieces. Or you can not bother at all and cut everything into squares.

   

6. We spread the gnocchi into the mold. Sprinkle the remaining melted butter over the gnocchi. And grated hard cheese.
7. We bake the gnocchi at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes.

   

Bon Appetit!
