<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Serves:</span> </strong>Four</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>500g gnocchi (Note: using extra gnocchi will alter the flavour)</li>
<li>2 tbs olive oil</li>
<li>1 red onion, finely sliced</li>
<li>1 carrot, peeled & finely diced</li>
<li>2 cloves garlic, peeled & crushed</li>
<li>600g pork & veal mince</li>
<li>100g baby spinach leaves, washed</li>
<li>50g parmesan cheese, finely grated</li>
<li>1 sachet tomato paste</li>
<li>2 tsp red wine vinegar</li>
<li>2 tins diced tomatoes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p>
<p>1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until the gnocchi rises to the surface (approximately 2-3 minutes). Drain really well. Transfer to a plate and pat dry with a tea towel to absorb any remaining water (this will help the gnocchi crisp up).</p>
<p>2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the gnocchi in 2-3 batches and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Set the gnocchi aside.</p>
<p>3. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and carrot and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the pork & veal mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes, or until browned. Add the tomato paste, red wine vinegar and diced tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir through the baby spinach leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper.</p>
<p>4. Add the gnocchi to the Bolognese sauce and stir through to heat.</p>
<p>5. To serve, divide the pasta between bowls and top with the Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!</p>
