This dish is made with the aim of clearing up some semolina flour and a couple of eggplants. I am so glad that it turned out very well. It’s a lot of work and washing by the way, but if you have a couple of hours to spare, it will be a dish worth remembering.
This dish is made up of 2 parts; the semolina gnocchi and a medley of chopped veg that ended their existence hiding under a layer of mixed cheese. It offers a plethora of textures (soft,crunchy) and tastes (sweet,sour,savory).
The gnocchi portion here is more like for 4, and just as well. Considering the amount of work that went into it, a second portion reserved for another day is a good idea. If leftover cheese gnocchi is not your thing, half the amount.
Makes for 2.
