Method

1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Line a 20 x 30cm oven tray with baking paper.

2.Combine milk and butter in a large saucepan. Bring to almost boiling on medium heat; reduce to low.

3.Slowly add semolina in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cool slightly.

4.Stir eggs and cheese through semolina mixture; season to taste. Pour mixture into pan, smoothing surface; chill until firm.

5.Turn set semolina onto board, discarding paper. Cut into 4cm squares. Place in base of large dish; top with parmesan. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden.

6.Meanwhile, to make tomato pasta sauce, heat oil in large frying pan on high. Saute capsicum, onion, garlic and chilli 3-4 minutes, until tender. Stir in canned tomato. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 3-4 minutes, until mixture starts to thicken. Add fresh tomato and cream; simmer 1 minute. Season to taste.

7.Spoon sauce over hot baked gnocchi; sprinkle with parsley to serve.

Don’t be tempted to add extra flour to your gnocchi – it will become heavy and chewy.
