Step 1
Boil gnocchi in salted water until they float, then continue 1 minute more. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer 3 minutes. Stir in 8 basil leaves.
Step 4
Add cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss gently, adding pasta water if needed to loosen. Remove from heat.

Top with torn mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Broil on high for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and edges bubble.
Step 6
Garnish with remaining fresh basil. Serve immediately from the skillet.
