From the Australian Magazine Super Food Ideas. The recipe uses Swiss cheese, but I used a mix of tasty, Parmesan and mozzarella. Even my husband who claims not to like gnocchi enjoyed this, Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
750 g lean ground beef (mince) |
600 ml italian pasta sauce |
625 g fresh gnocchi |
150 g swiss cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200c. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat; add onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until soft.
2. Add beef and cook, stirring to break up mince, for 5 minutes or until browned.
3. Add pasta sauce and season with salt and pepper.
4. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
5. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook gnocchi partially (about 3 minutes should do) then drain. Gnocchi will finish cooking in the oven!
6. Spoon meat sauce into a baking dish (6cm deep, 24X30cm base).
7. Top with gnocchi, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browning and sauce bubbling at edges.
