Gnocchi alla Bolognese Recipes

Cooking Time: 30 - 45 mins
Serves: 4   

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed and sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
250g minced pork or beef (or a mixture)
1 x 300g jar Dallaglio by Sacla’ Barbera Bolognese Sauce or 300g of Sacla' Italian Tomato Sauce
1 x 400g pack potato gnocchi (gnocchi di patate)
1 teaspoons dried oregano or marjoram
1/4 teaspoon salt
20g Parmesan, freshly grated

Instructions

Heat 1½ tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy-based pan and sauté the onions, garlic and celery for a few minutes.

Add the minced meat, turn up the heat to high and cook until the meat is lightly browned. Stir in the Dallaglio by Sacla’ Barbera Bolognese Sauce or Sacla' Italian Tomato Sauce and add herbs and salt to season.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes more.

Cook the gnocchi, following the pack instructions, and drain. Use the remaining oil to coat a heatproof serving dish. Tip in the hot gnocchi and spoon over the sauce. Grate some Parmesan over the surface top and put the gnocchi under a preheated grill for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.

Serve hot with a leafy side salad and extra Parmesan.
