Gnocchi alla romana (= semolina dumplings)

My friend Luca came to a visit! Organ composer and musician, he’s above all a my special Fantozzi cinema companion  with  I spent years at school and in my freetime too.

What could I make for him? Of course Roman-style gnocchi! A traditional first course, soft inside with a delicious cheese crust on the top.

Must try!
