In my house, this was always just “Gnocchi”, so I learnt what it was called when I looked up a recipe to link here.

This is pretty similar: https://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/recipes/creamy-beef-gnocchi/

I don’t add onion to this one, and I use cream instead of cheese.
I also like to chop up some whole tomatoes to add to the passata, usually cherry tomatoes.
Start by making up the sauce and leave it to simmer.
This gives it an opportunity to thicken up a bit over a low heat.

Then pan fry the gnocchi with a big chunk of butter. Unlike the linked recipe, I don’t boil it first.

Finally, combine before serving.

As shown in the post photo, serve with some shredded basil and parmesan.

It’s simple and it’s filling, so it’s a winner here.
