GNOCCHI ALLA ROMANA

Gnocchi alla romana is a very soft and kind dish, it is exactly the right thing to eat when you feel as if the whole world is against you, the harsh reality is too close and you wish you could be a child again and have your parents protection. In other words, it is a perfect example of comfort food!



GNOCCHI ALLA ROMANA

250 g/ 8,8 oz semolina flour
1 l (1000 ml)/4,22 cups milk
2 egg yolks
1oo-200 ml/ 0,42-0,85 cup grated parmesan cheese
Butter
Salt

- 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 on a flat surface, preferably on baking paper, and flatten it so that you have a large rectangle that is 1 cm high/thick.
- The norm is to cut out circles with a glass but I have stopped doing that, nowadays I cut out squares because then I can use all of the paste/mixture/?, when you make circles, you are left with a lot of little bits and pieces.
- Put the squares or circles into a greased oven-proof dish, sprinkle the cheese over and pour melted butter over the whole.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven (150°) until it is golden.
- Serve it warm.
