Gnocchi alla Romana
These tender gnocchi are prepared in the Roman style using semolina flour plus milk, butter, egg yolks and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The dough is cut into disks, then layered in a pan and baked in the oven. Roman-style meatballs are the perfect accompaniment (see related recipe at left).
