Semolina gnocchi
Make-ahead sheet pan semolina gnocchi - goes great under blackened veggies, fish, chicken, and more.
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole milk
- A small pinch of roasted granulated garlic
- 1.75 cups semolina flour
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 cup grated Asiago
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a large dutch oven, combine the milk and butter. Heat on low until the butter is fully melted.
- Slowly whisk in the semolina flour, granulated garlic, and some salt and pepper. Taste.
- Slowly whisk in the cheeses until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat.
- Spray a 9x13” sheet pan with some canola oil or lightly grease it with butter. Pour the gnocchi “batter” into it and level with the spatula if needed.
- Cover and chill to set, at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
- Broil on the middle rack in the oven for about 10 minutes. Don’t let it blacken or burn, but it should have some browning around the top/edges. Watch it closely.
- Let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Go light or omit the garlic. A little goes a LONG way.
- Other tasty additions include some basil or parsley, thyme, or goat cheese instead of Parmesan and Asiago.
- If you want to get fancy, it should set firmly enough to cut it with a cookie cutter before roasting.
- The recipe halves well. Use an 8x8” pan instead.
