Step by step
To store
If you like, double up on the ragù sauce, and freeze the extra portions. This versatile ragù can also be used as a baked sweet potato topping or ladled over pasta.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep frying pan. Cook the onion and carrot with a good pinch of salt over a low heat, covered, for 5 minutes until softened. Increase the heat and add the mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika and thyme and cook for a further 5 minutes, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms take on some colour.
- Tip in the lentils, tomatoes, soy, 75ml water and some black pepper, then bring to the boil. Lower the heat and bubble for 10 minutes until slightly reduced. Check the seasoning to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water following pack instructions.
-
Once cooked, drain the gnocchi, divide between 2 shallow bowls and ladle over the ragù to serve.
*Use dairy-free gnocchi if required, or if vegan.
