This Roman-style gnocchi differs to the more common potato dumplings. It's made with semolina which is cut out into disks then baked with more butter and cheese for a really indulgent vegetarian supper dish

Method
-
step 1
Heat the milk with ½ tsp salt and 20g butter in a non-stick pan. When it boils, sprinkle in the semolina, whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to the boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will be very thick.
-
step 2
Remove from heat and beat in the remaining 20g butter, and then the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the parmesan and season with salt.
-
step 3
Sprinkle a little cold water onto a work surface. Spread the mixture onto it, in an even layer about 1cm thick. Cool for at least 2 hours.
-
step 4
Heat the oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7.
-
step 5
Butter a shallow baking dish. Cut the semolina into 6cm rounds. Put the trimmings in the bottom of the dish. Pour over a little melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan. Cover with a layer of cut-out circles, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with nutmeg and parmesan, and drizzle with more butter. Continue layering until all the ingredients have been used.
-
step 6
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is browned. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
