GNOCCHI ALLA ROMANA (BAKED SEMOLINA GNOCCHI)
Not to be confused with the traditional potato gnocchi, gnocchi alla Romana are semolina dumplings, baked with cheese and butter. In this recipe, pancetta is added to the mix for a tastier version of this classical Roman dish.

Steps:
- Combine milk, 1/4 cup butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk semolina into boiling milk, mixing well to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Add egg yolks, 1 cup Grana Padano, and Gruyere cheese; stir well.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pancetta until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir pancetta into semolina mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with 1 1/2 teaspoon butter.
- Spread semolina mixture onto 1 of the prepared baking sheets, about 1/2-inch thick. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- Cut small disks out of cooled semolina using a juice glass or cookie cutter. Place the disks onto the other prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the disks. Sprinkle the remaining Grana Padano cheese over disks and dot with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until gnocchi are nicely crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, combine milk, nutmeg, salt and 4 tablespoons butter. Bring just to a boil, lower heat to medium and immediately start adding semolina in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Keep whisking to make a smooth mixture. Reduce heat to very low and cook, stirring, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in half the cheese and the egg yolks.
- Use some of the oil to grease a baking sheet. Spread hot dough on baking sheet to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until very cold, 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat remaining oil in a saucepan, add garlic and onion, cook until soft and add tomatoes. Simmer gently about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Use a little remaining butter to grease a shallow baking dish about 9 by 13 inches. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cookie cutter or a glass to cut disks of chilled dough. Keep dipping cutter in cold water to prevent sticking. Lift disks off baking sheet and arrange, slightly overlapping, in baking dish. Scraps can be kneaded briefly and smoothed out to allow for a few additional disks. Sprinkle disks in dish with remaining cheese and dot with remaining butter. Bake about 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Gently reheat sauce. Serve gnocchi with some sauce alongside each portion.

Steps:
- Whisk together semolina, milk, and salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until very stiff, 8 to 10 minutes. Spread mixture in a lightly oiled 8-inch square nonstick baking pan and chill, uncovered, until very firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Unmold semolina mixture by inverting pan over a cutting board and rapping pan sharply on board to release mixture. Cut mixture into 16 squares.
- Lightly brush 4 (4-ounce) gratin dishes or 1 (13- by 9-inch) baking dish with melted butter and overlap gnocchi in dishes or dish. Brush gnocchi with remaining butter and sprinkle with cheese. If using gratin dishes, transfer to a shallow baking pan. Bake in middle of oven until cheese is golden around edges, about 15 minutes. Cool in dishes or dish on a rack 5 minutes before serving.
- *Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets.
ROMAN-STYLE SEMOLINA GNOCCHI
If you think all gnocchi are potato-based bite-sized dumplings (as do most Americans), you are in for a surprise-and a great treat. Roman-style gnocchi di semolino are much more like polenta, made from a cereal porridge that is cooked and cooled until firm, then cut into small pieces and baked with a rich topping of butter and cheese. Yellow semolina (ground durum-wheat flour) even looks a bit like polenta, but it gives the dish a flavor and texture that are quite distinct from cornmeal. Gnocchi di semolino are usually served as a first course, instead of pasta, during a Sunday meal in a Roman household. It is a good dish when you have big crowds, since you can prepare it even the day before, leave it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap, and then just put on the butter and cheese and bake it in a hot oven where you might have a roast going. Because it holds its temperature for a while, you can set it on the table family style, with a serving spoon. Let people just take as much as they want. Traditionally, these gnocchi are cut into 1-inch rounds with a cookie cutter, but often, to avoid any waste, they are cut into squares or diamonds, which is just as good. Taleggio is a creamy cheese and I love it on this dish, but even just a Pecorino Romano will give you a nice flavorful crust.

Steps:
- Put the milk, 4 tablespoons butter, and salt in the saucepan. Set over medium heat, stir occasionally until the milk is hot and the butter melted, then gradually pour in the semolina, whisking steadily.
- Cook the cereal slowly, over medium-low heat, for 1/2 hour or more, as the cereal thickens. Whisk frequently, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan too. Use a wooden spoon when the mixture stiffens, and cook until it is difficult to stir at all. If you want to cook it faster, raise the heat and stir constantly until done.
- Scrape and pour the hot semolina in the middle of the baking sheet-it doesn't need to be greased or lined. Spread the cereal with a metal or rubber spatula to fill the pan in an even layer. Here's a tip: dip the spatula blade in water to keep it from sticking to the grain. Let the sheet of semolina cool to room temperature and solidify. (If you want to bake it the next day, wrap and refrigerate the sheet.)
- Set a rack in the middle of the oven, and heat it to 400˚. Butter the insides of the baking dish, using about 2 of the 8 tablespoons of butter; melt the remainder, to drizzle on the gnocchi.
- With a large ruler and a sharp knife, cut 2-inch rows, lengthwise and crosswise, in the sheet of firm semolina, dividing it into small squares. Lift out one square-it should come up easily with a spatula-and lay it down, oriented to appear diamond-shaped, in a corner of the baking dish. Lay a whole row of semolina diamonds, evenly overlapping each other, the length of the dish. Arrange another row right alongside the first, and so on, until the baking dish is completely filled with diamond shapes and the baking sheet is empty.
- Drizzle the melted butter all over the rows of gnocchi di semolino. Toss the grated and shredded cheeses together, and sprinkle evenly over the dish.
- Bake the gnocchi for 30 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling in the pan and the top is a beautiful golden brown. Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes; cut in squares and serve hot.
