Steps

  1. Preheat oven grill to high. Bring a medium pot of hot salted water to the boil. Prep & cook Bolognese. Heat a drizzle of oil in an oven proof fry-pan on high heat. Cook beef for about 5 minutes, until browned. Add onion, garlic and Bolognese spices to pan and cook for 3–4 minutes, until onion is tender.
  2. Add tomato paste, canned tomatoes, stock, balsamic vinegar and 1/2 tsp salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
  3. Cook gnocchi. Add gnocchi to pot of boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. To finish. Add gnocchi to pan with Bolognese and mix to combine. Top with cheese and grill in oven for about 5 minutes, until golden.
  5. Prep salad. In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste.
  6. Serve beef and gnocchi bake with garlic cream and salad on the side.
