Recipe - Home-Made Gnocchi With A Cheese And Bacon Sauce

GNOCCHI
1 pt Water
5 ounce Semolina
1 ounce Butter
1 ounce Cheese
1 Egg yolk
2 Rashers bacon

CHEESE AND BACON SAUCE
4 Rashers bacon
1 One half ounce Butter
1 One half ounce Flour
1 pt Milk
4 ounce Grated Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

Gnocchi:

Bring the water up to the boil and sprinkle in the semolina, stirring
steadily and cook, still stirring, until the mixture is thick. This takes
about 1 minute.

Draw the pan off the heat and add the chopped cooked bacon. Add the cheese
and pour the gnocchi mixture into a shallow baking dish. Leave to cool.

Cheese and bacon sauce:

Melt the butter and stir in the flour.

Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Draw the pan off the heat. Add the milk
slowly, beating out the lumps as you go. Return the pan to the heat and
stir until boiling. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Fry the bacon rashers, chop and add to the sauce. Add all the cheese and
mix well. Do not reboil once you have added the cheese as the oil from the
cheese will seep out. If you need to reheat do not add the cheese until you
are ready to serve.

To serve cut the gnocchi into rounds and put in a dish. Cover with the
sauce and sprinkle some extra cheese on top. Put under the grill until the
gnocchi has turned a golden brown.
