1
Make the Gnocchi
Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth. Mix in flour, egg, and salt to form a dough. Roll into ropes and cut into pieces.
2
Cook the Gnocchi
Boil a large pot of salted water. Drop in gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3
Prepare the Bolognese Sauce
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until soft. Add ground beef and pork; cook until browned. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
4
Simmer the Sauce
Add crushed tomatoes, red wine, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes until thickened.
5
Combine and Serve
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the Bolognese sauce. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
