Farina Dumplings Gnocchi Alla Romana

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Make sure not to scorch the milk.

2. Gradually whisk in the semolina flour, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

4. Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the egg yolks, salt, and pepper until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into round dumplings, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

6. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the dumplings in a single layer, allowing them to cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes.

7. Carefully flip the dumplings and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, about 3-4 minutes more.

8. Once the dumplings are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove them from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

9. Serve the Farina Dumplings Gnocchi Alla Romana warm, accompanied by a fresh green salad or your favorite tomato sauce for a truly delicious meal that will transport you to Italy with every bite.
