Best Gnocchi recipe?

I recommend a Bolognese Sauce such as:

1/3 Cup olive oil
1 med. onion, finely chopped
1 med. carrot, finely chopped
1 med. celery, finely chopped
1 T chopped Italian parsley
1/4 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb ground turkey
1/4 lb. ground beef
1 each 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, Italian style
3 to 4 T tomato paste
1 C red wine
salt & pepper to taste

Saute the onion, carrot and celery in the olive oil until soft. Add the ground meats, one at a time, browning after each addition. Add salt & pepper. After the meats are browned, add the red wine and reduce it. Process the whole tomatoes in a food processor and when puried add to the pan with the meat mixture. Add the chopped parsley and tomato paste and stir. Cover and cook on low heat 2 to 3 hours. Stir on occasion.

This tastes wonderful on gnocchi, penne pasta or most any sturdy pasta of your choice.
I usually double this recipe so I have enough for two meals.

Enjoy!
