Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic.
• Heat a large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Cook soffritto mix, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add beef mince and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, Italian herbs and Nan's special seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
• Add the brown sugar, passata, the water and chicken stock pot(see ingredients). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• While the ragu is simmering, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a separate large frying pan over medium-high heat. • Add gnocchi in a single layer, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: If the gnocchi doesn't fit in a single layer, cook in batches so it becomes golden. Add extra olive oil if necessary.
• Add gnocchi and baby spinach leaves to the beef ragu. Toss to coat.
• Divide the Italian beef ragu and bacon gnocchi between bowls. • Sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese and flaked almonds. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
