Quick Creamy Beef & Leek Gnocchi
with Parmesan Cheese
Gnocchi really has it going on, these little pockets of deliciousness are stirred through a creamy sauce tonight with pork and veggies. The fragrant herbs and sharp Parmesan transform this into a real treat with homey flavours and a lot of gnocchi.
Unfortunately, this week's silverbeet was in short supply, so we've replaced it with baby spinach. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When the oil is hot, cook gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice leek. Finely chop garlic and fresh chilli (if using). • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook leek, stirring, until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Add baby spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in garlic, chilli, Nan's special seasoning and Italian herbs, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and the water, then return gnocchi and veggies to the pan, tossing until combined, 1 minute.
• Divide creamy beef and leek gnocchi between bowls. • Top with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
