Gnocchi with Quick Meat Sauce image

This hearty meal is ready in just 30 minutes. Store-bought gnocchi (Italian for "dumplings") cook in just a few minutes, so they're faster than pasta. You'll have extra meat sauce left over to make Summer Beef-and-Rice Casserole later in the week.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
3 carrots, shredded
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed in a blender
1 pound fresh or frozen gnocchi, cooked according to package instructions
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce)
Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, heat oil over high. Add meat and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until meat is browned and onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add tomato puree, and bring to a rapid simmer.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer 5 cups meat sauce to an airtight container, let cool, then refrigerate for Summer Beef-and-Rice Casserole. Serve remaining sauce over gnocchi, topped with Parmesan and basil, if desired.
