Gnocchi
Ingredients
1 pint Milk
120-180 grams (4-6 oz) Semolina
120 grams freshly grated Parmesan Cheese plus a little extra for reheating
2 Eggs
Salt
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Pinch Nutmeg freshly grated
Method
Bring the milk to the boil in a double boiler. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the semolina and continue stirring carefully until it is quite thick. Don't stop stirring as it will go lumpy. Remove from stove and stir in beaten eggs and cheese.
Grease a flat tray well and pour over the semolina mixture so that it covers the tray about half an inch thick. Leave to cool and set.
Cut into one inch squares or small rounds. Heap into small ovenproof serving dishes, dot with butter and sprinkle generously with extra cheese. Brown under the griller then top each dish with a spoonful of a sauce
Excellent with pesto.
