Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Put a large pan on medium heat and add 1 litre whole milk, 80 g butter, salt and pepper.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Heat until just simmering and the butter is completely melted.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

In a bowl, use a whisk to mix together 250 g couscous (fine or coarse), the grated 100 g Parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan) and ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Tip this mixture into the hot milk off the heat, and mix with a whisk.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add 2 egg yolks, still whisking.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Put back on low heat and continue whisking until smooth.

Change the whisk for a soft spatula and keep the pan on low heat for a further 3 or 4 minutes to dry the mixture out.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Take off the heat and transfer about a third of the mixture onto a sheet of stretch plastic film. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Stage 8 - 4 min.

Roll up in the film and shape into a sausage about an inch and a half (4 cm) thick. Tie the ends with string.

Stage 9 - 2 hours

Use up the rest of the gnocchi mixture like this. Lay the sausages on a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Generously butter a gratin dish.

Stage 11 - 1 min.

Take the plastic film off the dough sausages...

Stage 12 - 2 min.

...and cut into thick slices.

Stage 13 - 5 min.

Arrange in the dish, slightly overlapping.

Stage 14 - 1 min.

Scatter the grated 50 g Comté cheese over.

Stage 15 - 20 min.

Bake for 20 minutes, with the last 5 minutes on grill setting to brown the top.

Your gnocchi are ready to enjoy.
