Directions

1. Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Using a box grater, coarsely grate carrots. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut shallots into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
2. Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add beef, garlic, grated carrot and Italian seasoning to the same pot. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 min.
4. Add broth concentrate, Worcestershire sauce and passata to the same pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken, 10-12 min. Season with salt and pepper.
5. While bolognese simmers, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter and swirl pan to melt, 1 min. Add half the gnocchi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-8 min. Repeat with another 2 tbsp butter and remaining gnocchi.
6. Add gnocchi to the pot with bolognese sauce, then stir to coat. Divide gnocchi bolognese between bowls. Sprinkle over Parmesan.
