Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, finely chop the brown onions, finely dice the celery, peel and crush the garlic, finely chop the parsley and grate the Parmesan cheese.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until the gnocchi rises to the surface (approximately 2-3 minutes). Drain really well. Transfer to a plate and pat dry with paper towel to absorb any remaining water (this will help the gnocchi crisp up).
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi and fry for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Set the gnocchi aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the pork & veal mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add the tomato paste, red wine vinegar and diced tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir through the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the gnocchi to the bolognese sauce and stir through to heat. Divide between bowls and top with the Parmesan cheese.
