Roman-style gnocchi is a typical Roman recipe passed down throughout the entire peninsula.

They are soft inside and crispy outside, made with a semolina, milk, eggs, Parmesan, and butter dough, very tasty.

This is the basic recipe that I leave for you, but there are many variants, such as Roman-style gnocchi with sauce, green, and with other various toppings.

It is a very simple recipe even for beginners, with my foolproof method to create and cut the discs, avoiding time waste and unnecessary waste.

Great served for lunch or dinner and they are so good that any occasion is right to propose them, both to family and friends.

Steps for Preparing Roman-style Gnocchi

To prepare the delicious Roman-style gnocchi, take a non-stick pot and pour in the milk, bringing it to a boil

When the milk boils, turn off the heat and add the semolina gradually while whisking vigorously with a whisk to prevent lumps. Then turn the stove back on, add the fine salt, and cook, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, for 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken.
Once cooked, place it in a bowl and quickly add the egg yolks, butter, nutmeg, and grated Parmesan. Mix well to blend all the ingredients and spread half of the mixture on one sheet of parchment paper and the other half on another, as it wouldn’t fit all in one. Roll them separately into tight logs and let them cool completely.
Once cool, remove the parchment paper and cut them with a knife into discs about 0.6 inches thick.
Butter a baking dish and lay out the discs slightly overlapping, then sprinkle with the remaining grated Parmesan and butter flakes.
Preheat the oven to 392°F and bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Once cooked, let them rest for a few minutes and serve hot… enjoy your meal!!
