Gnocchi Bolognese with Spinach




This is a really tasty dinner, it's quick, easy and took me about half an hour to make, serves two and costs about £2.00 each.

Ingredients

250g minced beef
400g tinned chopped tomatoes
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
250g gnocchi
200g fresh spinach
Small ball of mozzarella cheese


How to cook

Fry the mince in a pan until brown and then add the tomatoes and herbs.

Simmer for about 20 minutes, add some water if it looks a bit dry.

When the mince is nearly cooked, cook the gnocchi following the instructions on the pack and lift out the pan with a slotted spoon.

Tip the spinach into a colander then pour the boiling gnocchi water over it to wilt it and then squeeze out as much water as you can.

Stir the gnocchi and spinach into the bolognese sauce, season and then tip it into an ovenproof dish.

Tear the mozzarella into pieces and put it over the top then grill under a hot grill until golden and bubbling.

  1. Another great dish Max with all the elements you need for a healthy balanced diet. I cant really add much to this Max but one quick tip would be to microwave your spinach in a bowl covered with clingfilm and allow it to cool, squeeze out excess moisture and add to the dish, This will help retain some of the water soluble vitamins. Again another one for the family too as well as busy students. Simon
