There are few comfort foods that warm the soul on a cold, rainy day like a hearty bowl of gnocchi bolognese.
A rich, savory Bolognese sauce, simmering with a perfect blend of meats and vegetables, and toothsome, pillowy Gnocchi eager to soak in every ounce of flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions sweat a little and look clear.
After the meat is cooked, add tsp of sea salt. Salt pulls juices out of meat and vegetables, so waiting until it is cooked to add the salt keeps the sauce from getting watery.
Add the red wine, slowly pouring it in stirring it into the meat.
Next add the tomato sauce and a pinch more of salt. Cook, covered, on a low simmer for 2 or more hours on low heat, stirring occasionally.
When the Bolognese sauce is done simmering, make the gnocchi according to package directions.
Serve one cup of gnocchi with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Bolognese sauce. Top with fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.
