Step 1
In a large pan over medium to low heat add the olive oil. Once heated add the onion, celery, and carrots. Add a heavy pinch of salt (approx ¼ tsp) and cook down for 10 minutes until soft, mixing every minute or so.
Step 2
Add in the garlic and chili flakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and soft.

Add in the Tuttorosso Tomato Paste, beef, pancetta, and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine and cook for 7-10 minutes, breaking up the beef with the back of a spoon. Once brown, add in the beef broth and Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes. Cover and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
Step 4
20 minutes into simmering, boil a pot of salted water and cook the gnocchi as per packaging instructions.
Step 5
Once the sauce is finished cooking, turn off the heat and add in the parmesan cheese, and basil.
Step 6
Add in the gnocchi and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or if you want to serve later hold off on cooking and adding the gnocchi until ready.
