Ingredients

• 10 oz lean ground beef
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 and ½ teaspoons Calabrian chile paste
• ¾ lb gnocchi (12 oz)
• 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese (or crème fraîche)
• Basil and grated parmesan cheese, for garnish

Preparation

1. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high.
2. In a medium-sized pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, frequently breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.
3. Add the chopped garlic, tomato paste, and chile paste. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the beef is cooked through.
4. Add 3/4 cup of water and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Turn off the heat.
5. While the beef cooks, add the gnocchi to the pot of boiling water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the top of the pot. Drain thoroughly.
6. Add the cooked gnocchi and mascarpone to the pan of cooked beef. Stir to thoroughly combine.
7. Divide into two bowls and top with fresh basil.
