Semolina Gnocchi

• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Dash nutmeg
• 1 cup semolina
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten

Make the dough: bring the milk to a boil and season it with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour in the semolina and stir until you have a thick mixture. Then stir in the cheese, remove from heat, and stir in the beaten eggs. Pour the mixture into a buttered dish or tin, making a layer about 1/4-inch thick.

Cut the gnocchi: once the mixture has cooled, cut into rounds with a cutter about 1 ½ inches in diameter and arrange in an overlapping pattern in a fireproof dish.

Bake the gnocchi: pour a generous amount of melted butter all over the gnocchi and brown under the grill or in the oven. A few minutes before removing, sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese. When this has melted, the gnocchi are ready.
