Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 1pcs tomato
• 1pcs spring onion
• 2clov garlic
• 50g cheddar
• 300g lean beef mince
• 10g Tex-Mex seasoning
• 50g tomato paste
• 400g gnocchi
• 5ml olive oil
• 5ml sugar

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil for the gnocchi. Finely chop the tomato. Thinly slice the spring onion, keeping the white and green parts separate. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Coarsely grate the cheese.
2. Step 2 — Brown beef mince
   Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Cook the beef mince, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned. Add the garlic, white part of the spring onion and Tex-Mex seasoning, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant.
3. Step 3 — Simmer sauce
   Add the tomato, 125ml (½ cup) water, tomato paste and 1 tsp sugar to the mince mixture. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4 — Cook gnocchi
   Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to the pan of boiling water (make sure the water is at a rapid boil). Stir to separate the gnocchi, then return to the boil and cook for 3 mins. Drain.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add the gnocchi to the sauce and gently stir to combine. Divide the taco beef gnocchi among bowls (see Make it yours) and scatter over the cheese and remaining spring onion. Enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Make it yours
   Fancy a gnocchi bake instead? Tip the gnocchi mixture into a baking dish, scatter over the cheese and spring onion, then bake in a 200C oven for 6-8 mins until the cheese is melted.
