Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees. Cut the ends off the shallot, peel and finely slice. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press if you have one). Remove the top from the carrot, peel and grate on the coarse side of your grater. Grate the cheese.
Heat a wide bottomed saucepan over high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the beef mince for 5 mins until browned and then stir in your shallot and garlic. Cook for a further 3 mins until your shallot is soft. Add your carrot and the Provençal herbs and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in the tinned cherry tomatoes, tomato passata, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock pot and water (amount specified in the ingredient list). Mix well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat until your bolognese is gently bubbling, cook for 15 mins uncovered. Once your bolognese is nice and thick, remove the pan from the heat and cover.
While your bolognese is simmering, place your purple sprouting broccoli on a baking tray and cover the tray tightly with foil. Tip:This allows the broccoli to steam in the oven! Pop on the top shelf of your oven for 12-15mins.
Whilst everything is cooking you can get on with the gnocchi! Add a splash of oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi and a pinch of salt and cook for 11 mins or until lightly golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Tip: You may wish to do this in batches!
Remove your broccoli from your oven and preheat your grill to high. Remove the foil covering, sprinkle your cheese over your broccoli and grill for 2-4 mins or until nice and golden. Tip:You might like to leave a few tablespoons of grated cheese to the side for sprinkling over your bolognese later!
Roughly tear the basil leaves and stir them into your bolognese . Now add your gnocchi and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove your cheesy broccoli from under your grill and serve alongside your gnocchi bolognese. Buon Appetito!
