Adapted from https://www.thekitchn.com/the-pasta-queens-sirens-enchantment-23276312

I made this.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb gnocchi
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella, divided
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil Domenica Fiore
1 large garlic clove
1 lb fresh crushed tomatoes, or 1 can crushed and 1 can diced
4/5 basil leaves

STEPS

1) Preheat oven to 400F

2) Start by sizzling minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Next, add crushed tomatoes, season to taste with salt, and add torn basil leaves.

3) Meanwhile, cook store-bought gnocchi in a pot of boiling water, then add it to the sauce and toss to coat them.

4) Add torn pieces of fresh mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese and stir them into the sauce so they melt, then top with additional mozzarella and Parmesan.

5) Bake until browned and bubbling (20-30 minutes), and garnish with fresh basil to serve.
