Cooking Steps

Cook the gnocchi
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until floating on the surface, 2-4 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain gnocchi, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.

Get prepped & cook the veggies
2

• Meanwhile, grate carrot. • Roughly chop tomato and baby spinach leaves. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook carrot and tomato, stirring, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Cook the pork & bring it all together

• Return frying pan to high heat, then cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in Italian herbs, passata, the brown sugar, butter and the reserved pasta water, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then return veggies, cooked gnocchi and spinach. Toss to combine. Season with pepper.

Finish & serve
