Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Halve the ciabatta.

Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

Get Frying
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the beef mince and onion. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. 

When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Stir in half the garlic and fry for 1 min more.

Cook the Gnocchi
3

Stir the passata, red wine stock, Worcester sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the beef. Bring up to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook, until thickened slightly, 4-5 mins.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the gnocchi.

When boiling, add the gnocchi to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the surface of the water, 2-3 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Make your Garlic Ciabatta
4

Lay your ciabatta halves onto a baking tray, cut-side up.

Spread over the remaining garlic and drizzle over the pesto.

Time to Bake
5

Once your sauce has thickened, stir through the Italian style cheese and gnocchi.

Transfer to an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. Top with the mozzarella. Pop alongside the ciabatta on the baking tray to catch the drips.

Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden and crispy, 5-7 mins. 

Serve Up
6

Share your ultimate Bolognese gnocchi bake between your serving plates. Add a handful of rocket on the top.

Serve with your pesto garlic bread alongside.

Enjoy!
