Gnocchi alla Romana, or, less often, Gnocchi di semolino alla romana, is a popular Italian dish that is made with semolina flour instead of the potatoes used in the more usual kind of gnocchi widely made in both Italy and France. Originally eaten primarily in Rome, where it remains a standard household dish, it has now spread throughout Italy. It is also made in France, where it is called gnocchi de semoule; one English translation of the Roman dish is "semolina cakes baked with butter and cheese".
