Chez Moncef

• Bring water to a boil for the gnocchi.
• While the water is boiling, prepare the sauce in a food processor. Combine one shallot, 2 garlic cloves, a good handful or two of fresh flat-leaf parsley, roasted red peppers (canned is fine, just squeeze out the liquid), salt and pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Pulse until smooth, but leave it a little chunky. You’re not making soup here.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high in a nonstick pan and cook the ground beef. I break it up into small pieces as it’s cooking and season with salt and pepper. This should only take a few minutes.
• Pour the meat in a bowl then pour the sauce from the food processor into the pan and heat over medium. While the sauce is simmering, add salt to the boiling water and drop the gnocchi. Once they start floating to the top (takes less than 5 minutes), drain and then dump into the sauce and add the meat back in the pan as well. Combine everything and serve.

An easy, healthy and delicious meal in way less than 30 minutes. Rachael Ray ain’t got nothin’ on me!
