Low FODMAP Gnocchi Bolognese

Ingredients:

500g gluten-free potato gnocchi

500g minced beef

1 cup carrots, finely diced

½ cup celery, finely diced

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes

1 cup low FODMAP chicken stock

½ cup red wine

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped & parmesan (to garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bolognese Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the garlic-infused olive oil and extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely diced carrots and celery, cooking until the vegetables are tender.
3. Enhance Flavour: Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until it’s slightly reduced.
4. Create the Sauce Base: Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil to the skillet. Mix well to combine.
5. Simmer: Pour in the low FODMAP broth, season with salt and pepper, and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
6. Cook the Gnocchi: Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water and cook the gluten-free potato gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
7. Combine with Gnocchi: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the Bolognese sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
8. Serve: Plate your Low FODMAP Gnocchi Bolognese, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley & parmesan for a burst of colour and flavour.
