cheesy gnocchi bolognaise

pre-heat oven to 200º celsius.

in a frying pan, gently fry 1 finely chopped onion and 2 crushed cloves of garlic in olive oil until soft. increase heat and add 750g lean beef mince. break up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned.

add 600ml pasta sauce (of your choice), season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and bring to a boil. reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until sauce thickens.

in the meantime, cook 650g gnocchi in salted water according to instructions and drain.

spoon the bolognaise mixture in an oven-proof dish. top with the cooked gnocchi. sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.

bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese has browned.

Love gnocchi. Too complicated to make from scratch, too.
