Steps

  1. Prep and cook veggies Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Finely dice onion; grate carrot and courgette; mince garlic. Heat a small drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, carrot and garlic, stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add beef Add ragù spice mix and beef mince. Cook a further 3 minutes, breaking up beef as it cooks.
  3. Add veggies Add courgette, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 6-8 minutes, until thickened. Stir through sugar, vinegar and tomato sauce.
  4. Cook gnocchi When beef ragù has 3 minutes cook time remaining, cook gnocchi in pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes, until it floats to the surface and is just tender. Reserve ½ cup of pasta cooking water, then drain. Return gnocchi to pot with a small drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Finish ragù Toss cooked gnocchi through beef ragù. Add ¼-½ cup reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick. Season (if needed).
  6. Serve beef ragù sprinkled with cheese.
