This Roman-style gnocchi are not made with potato as the classic gnocchi but with semolina flour and milk. They are round shape and always served with generous cheese and butter on top. They are really fast to make and you can keep them in the freezer up to 2 months. Once you want to cook them, ust heat the oven and cook them straight from the freezer.
