gnocchi alla romana

October 9th, 2009

You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes gnocchi alla romana but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat gnocchi alla romana or other high calorie gnocchi, potatoes, starches every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also think it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Gnocchi alla Romana

Vegetable oil
3 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Large pinch of ground nutmeg
Large pinch of pepper
1 cup plus 2 tablespoon semolina
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup freshly-grated Parmesan
6 tablespoons butter

Line the bottom of a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Generously oil the foil. Heat milk, salt, nutmeg and pepper in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat just to simmering. Do not boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Begin whisking or stirring milk briskly and add semolina in thin steady stream, taking care not to let lumps form. Cook, stirring frequently, until thick enough for spoon to stand upright and unsupported in center of mixture, 5 to 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until very thick, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.

Add egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the cheese and 2 tablespoons of the butter to semolina mixture; stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Pat out with spatula to 3/8 inch thickness. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Turn mixture out of pan onto flat surface; peel off foil. Cut gnocchi out of mixture with 2-inch round cutter. Arrange gnocchi overlapping in 10-inch square shallow flameproof baking dish.

Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Drizzle melted butter over gnocchi. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until tops of gnocchi are crisp and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Place under broiler about 4 inches from heat, until light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve at once.
