Low-key comfort food at its finest. Layers of semolina gnocchi topped with cheese and baked to golden perfection makes a delicious main, that works just as well as a shared side.

Method

  • 1.
    In a bowl, beat the eggs, then add the semolina and combine well. Gradually add the milk and whisk until well incorporated. Place the mixture in a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes or until thick.
  • 2.
    Add the asiago and half the pecorino. Season and turn off the heat. The residual heat will melt the cheese. Stir to combine, then turn out onto a baking tray lined with plastic wrap. Pat the mixture to a thickness of 2cm and chill to cool completely.
  • 3.
    Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
  • 4.
    Dot half of the butter onto the base of an ovenproof dish. Cut out 4-5cm rounds of firm semolina using a greased cookie cutter or a glass. Arrange the rounds onto the base of the dish, slightly overlapping them. Dot the remaining butter on top and sprinkle with the leftover pecorino cheese.
  • 5.
    Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
  • 6.
    Serve hot, topped with micro basil.
