Gnocchi with meat is a delicious, hearty dish that is perfect for a cozy dinner on a cold winter evening. It’s a dish that’s packed with flavor and is guaranteed to leave you feeling satisfied. The combination of tender meat and soft, pillowy is simply irresistible.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 lb beef or pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 can of chopped tomatoes
– 1 tablespoon tomato paste
– 1 cup of beef or chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 lb fresh gnocchi
– Parmesan cheese
Heat up a large and deep pot over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat up for a minute to ensure the oil covers the bottom of the pot. Add the diced onions, and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the meat and sauté for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the meat is browned on all sides. Make sure to stir the meat frequently to ensure it cooks evenly. Once the meat is browned, add 1 can of chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 cup of beef or chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir to combine all the ingredients together and then lower the heat to a low simmer.
Let the beef or pork cook over the low heat for 2-3 hours, or until it’s tender and falls apart easily with a fork. You may find that you need to add more broth to the pot as you cook the meat to ensure that there is enough liquid to cover the meat.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once the gnocchi is cooked, drain it and set it aside.
When the meat is ready, taste it, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pot with the meat and stir until everything is well combined. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
