Steps

• Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them.
• Mix the mashed potatoes with flour, egg, and salt to form a dough.
• Roll the dough into ropes and cut into small pieces to form the gnocchi.
• Cook the gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the surface, then drain.
• Prepare the Tomato Sauce
• In a pan, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• In a baking dish, layer the cooked gnocchi with the tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips

• Make sure the gnocchi are well-drained before layering with the sauce to prevent excess liquid in the dish.
• You can add some Parmesan cheese on top before baking for extra flavor.
