Gnocchi to the nth degree

Gnocchi alla romana is a typical dish of Roman cuisine. It is prepared with gnocchi made from semolina, whole milk, butter and Parmesan cheese and seasoned with a sauce made from melted butter, Parmesan cheese and pepper. It is baked in the oven after being sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and is traditionally served with meatballs, tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Gluten-free gnocchi alla romana are made by replacing the semolina with cornflour. The dish is also claimed by the Piedmontese due to the presence of butter, which is a common ingredient in Northern Italy.
