Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and warm the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, adding the crushed garlic and cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

  2. 2

    Pour in the tomato passata, season with a pinch of salt, and simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and tastes sweet, then discard the garlic cloves and tear in half the basil.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi for 2 to 3 minutes, removing them with a slotted spoon as soon as they float to the surface.

  4. 4

    Fold the cooked gnocchi into the tomato sauce until evenly coated, then dot the surface with the torn mozzarella and shower with the grated Parmigiano.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling with golden spots, then finish with the remaining fresh basil and serve hot.
