Cooking Steps
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When the oil is hot, fry gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• Meanwhile, slice zucchini into half-moons. Roughly chop tomato. • Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook zucchini and tomato, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes.
• Return pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in garlic paste, Nan's special seasoning and Italian herbs, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add plant-based cooking cream, chicken-style stock powder, the water and return gnocchi and veggies to pan and toss until combined, 1 minute.
• Divide creamy beef and zucchini gnocchi between bowls. • Top with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
