Prep Time

Cook Time

Ingredients
  • 500 g Ground Beef
  • 340 g Carrot
  • 12 g Garlic
  • 160 g Roma Tomato
  • 100 g Shallot
  • 1 box Tomato Passata
  • 2 unit Beef Broth Concentrate
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1000 g Gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt and Pepper
Instructions
  1. 1

    Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Using a box grater, coarsely grate carrots. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut shallots into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.

  3. 3

    Increase the heat to medium-high, then add beef, garlic, grated carrot and Italian seasoning to the same pot. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 min.

  4. 4

    Add broth concentrate, Worcestershire sauce and passata to the same pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken, 10-12 min. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    While bolognese simmers, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter and swirl pan to melt, 1 min. Add half the gnocchi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-8 min. Repeat with another 2 tbsp butter and remaining gnocchi.

  6. 6

    Add gnocchi to the pot with bolognese sauce, then stir to coat. Divide gnocchi bolognese between bowls. Sprinkle over Parmesan.
