Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook gnocchi until they float, then 1 minute more. Drain gently.

  2. Step 2

    While gnocchi cooks, warm canned tomatoes with minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Layer cooked gnocchi and tomato sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish, then scatter torn mozzarella and Parmigiano over the top.

  4. Step 4

    Bake until the cheese is melted and edges are golden, 8–10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven and tear fresh basil over the top. Serve immediately.
