Cooking Steps

Fry the Gnocchi
1
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter.
  • Once hot, add the gnocchi and half the paprika.
  • Cook, shifting regularly, until golden and crispy all over, 8-12 mins.
Cook the Mince
2
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat (no oil). 
  • Once hot, fry the mince and remaining paprika until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes
