Hamburger Gnocchi
A creamy and comforting dish combining tender gnocchi with savory ground beef in a rich tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 0.5 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or to taste)
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes with juices
- 0.33 cup beef broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- 0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat for about 7-10 minutes. If there's excess fat, carefully spoon most of it out.
- Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, heavy cream, and uncooked gnocchi to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Once the mixture starts to bubble, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, uncover the skillet and stir. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened to your preference.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
