  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to high grill. Bring a pot of 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 veggies are tender.
  2. Add tomato paste, canned tomatoes, stock, balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
  3. Cook gnocchi. Cook gnocchi in pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of oil.
  4. To finish. Add cooked 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 bowl, toss carrot, cucumber and lettuce with a drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste.
  6. Serve bolognese with garlic sauce and salad on the side.
