Gnocchi are pillowy potato dumplings that are delicious when doused with fresh tomato sauce. We're taking gnocchi a step further by pan-frying them until they're crispy and golden-brown and then tossing in a rich tomato sauce. If you thought gnocchi was irresistible before, wait until you taste this recipe.

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Coarsely grate carrot using a box grater. Roughly chop tomato. Peel, then finely chop half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl). Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add beef, garlic, grated carrot and Italian Seasoning to the pot. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 min.
Add broth concentrate, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (dbl for 4 ppl) and crushed tomatoes to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken, 10-12 min. Season with salt and pepper.
While sauce cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter and swirl pan to melt, 1 min. Add gnocchi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 7-8 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook 1 pkg gnocchi at a time, using 2 tbsp butter for each batch!)
Add gnocchi to the large pot with bolognese sauce, then stir to coat. Divide gnocchi bolognese between bowls. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
