Ingredients

  • 500 g gnocchi
  • 250 g minced beef
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 100 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 30 g parmesan grated, plus extra for serving

Instructions

  • Heat some cooking oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add the minced beef, break it up with a spoon or spatula, and then cook until it’s browned all over.
  • Add the red onion and red pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic paste, smoked paprika and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute.

  • Add the gnocchi, stir well, then cover with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is soft.
  • Stir through the cream cheese, parmesan and parsley until smooth, creamy and glossy.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve with extra parmesan on top.
