Gnocchi alla romana

Gnocchi alla romana are a typical dish of Roman cuisine.

They are prepared with gnocchi made of semolina, whole milk, butter and Parmesan cheese, seasoned with salt and black pepper. They are baked in the oven after being sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and are traditionally topped with meatballs, tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Gluten-free gnocchi alla romana are made by replacing semolina with cornmeal.

The dish is also present in the Piedmontese culinary tradition due to the presence of butter, which is a common ingredient in northern Italy.
