Instructions:

Prepare the Dish: Line a deep corning ware dish (12×8 inch) with parchment paper.

Cook the Semolina: In a saucepan, combine milk, half of the nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until the semolina is very stiff.

Add Toppings: Drizzle the melted butter over the gnocchi, followed by the cream. Combine the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle the mixture over the top of the gnocchi.

Season and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining nutmeg over the dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the gnocchi turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
