  1. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the minced beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
  4. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  6. While the sauce is simmering, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface). Drain and set aside.
  7. Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked gnocchi to the saucepan with the bolognese. Gently stir to coat the gnocchi with the sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the grated cheddar and parmesan over the top. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  9. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy your cheesy gnocchi bolognese!
