The Fangio’s classic that captured hearts from day one.
At Fangio’s, this dish is more than just a plate of pasta—it’s a part of our story. From the very first service, our Creamy Napolitano Beef Fillet Gnocchi has held a special place on the menu and in the hearts of our guests. With its tender fillet, velvety tomato-cream sauce, and pillowy gnocchi, it’s a dish that speaks of comfort, tradition, and the kind of flavour that keeps people coming back for more.
Method
Start by pan-searing the beef fillet medallions in a hot skillet with a touch of olive oil, cooking just until browned on the outside and tender within—set aside to rest. In the same pan, gently sauté crushed garlic until fragrant, then pour in your slow-simmered Napolitano sauce and let it bubble to deepen the flavour. Add a splash of cream and stir until the sauce turns rich and silky.
While the sauce simmers, cook your gnocchi until they rise to the surface of boiling water—then lightly pan-fry them for that golden, crisped finish. Gently fold the gnocchi and beef into the creamy tomato sauce, letting it all come together in a single, warm embrace.
Serve with a generous grating of Parmesan and a scatter of fresh basil. And enjoy it the Fangio’s way—slowly, surrounded by good company.
The Fangio’s twist
The balance of slow-cooked tomato flavour, velvet cream, and buttery-soft beef, folded through pillowy gnocchi, makes this dish both nostalgic and irresistibly moreish.
Why we love it
It’s warm. It’s hearty. It’s the dish that feels like home at Fangio’s, crafted with love, remembered with smiles.
