Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, bring milk to a boil, then quickly add flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball of dough, leaving the sides of the pan.
Step 2
Add salt and pepper; remove from heat and beat in eggs one at a time using a large wooden spoon, beating mixture until smooth after each addition.
Step 3
Spread mixture in a shallow pan and cool. Cut into small rectangles or squares. (Or if you like, using oiled hands roll the gnocchi between your palms to round off the edges).
Step 4
Heat butter in a frying pan and fry the squares a golden brown on each side, adding more butter if necessary. Sprinkle with cheese and serve topped with a hearty and spicy tomato sauce.
