INGREDIENTS

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 quart milk
    • 🧈 5 tablespoons butter
    • 1 ¼ cups grated Grana Padano cheese
    • ⅓ cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • Protein

    • 🥚 2 egg yolks
    • 1 (3 ounce) package pancetta bacon, diced
  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups fine semolina flour
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

STEPS

1

Combine milk, 1/4 cup butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk semolina into boiling milk, mixing well to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Add egg yolks, 1 cup Grana Padano, and Gruyere cheese; stir well.

2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pancetta until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir pancetta into semolina mixture.

3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with 1 1/2 teaspoon butter.

4

Spread semolina mixture onto one of the prepared baking sheets, about 1/2-inch thick. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

5

Cut small disks out of cooled semolina using a juice glass or cookie cutter. Place the disks onto the other prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the disks. Sprinkle the remaining Grana Padano cheese over disks and dot with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon butter.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until gnocchi are nicely crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.
