# Instructions:
01 -
Add olive oil to a deep pot or pan and heat it up. Toss in the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Let them soften on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes.
02 -
Next, throw in the garlic and cook it for a minute. Add the beef to the same pot and break it up as it cooks for 5-6 minutes until it gets that browned look.
03 -
Pour in the wine and stir it all together, cooking for 1-2 minutes until you can’t smell the alcohol anymore.
04 -
Toss in the tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of chili flakes. Stir everything so it’s evenly blended.
05 -
Add in your canned tomatoes, bay leaves, and beef stock. Let it come to a boil first, then lower the heat and let it bubble gently for 15 minutes. Remember to stir it once in a while.
06 -
Boil a large pot of water. Salt it generously, then cook the gnocchi according to what it says on the package.
07 -
Add the cooked gnocchi to the thickened sauce along with the grated Parmesan and chopped basil. Mix it all together, adjust the salt and pepper if needed, and serve right away. If you want, sprinkle on some more Parmesan.
