Ingredients

• 150 g Gluten-free semolina flour
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 100 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, grated
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 50 g Extra Parmesan cheese for topping
• 20 g Butter for greasing and topping

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 2

Reduce heat to low and gradually add the gluten-free semolina flour, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Add 60g of unsalted butter, salt, and grated nutmeg to the mixture. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, taking about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the egg yolks, mixing thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in 100g of grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it is fully melted and blended.

Step 6

Spread the mixture onto a greased baking sheet or parchment-lined surface, smoothing it to about 1.5 cm thickness. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 8

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass (approximately 5 cm diameter), cut out circles from the cooled semolina mixture.

Step 9

Grease a baking dish with butter and arrange the gnocchi rounds slightly overlapping in the dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle the top with extra Parmesan cheese and dot with the remaining 20g of butter.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 12

Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Gnocchi alla Romana!
