Prepare the ragù by sautéing the minced meat with the chopped vegetables (celery, parsley, carrots, and onion) in olive oil until browned.

Add the passata di pomodoro to the meat and vegetables, season with salt, and let it simmer to develop flavors.

In a baking dish, layer the gnocchi, ragù, mozzarella, and grated parmesan cheese.

Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Bake in the oven until the top is golden and crispy.

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the textures.
