Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the potatoes

Rinse the potatoes and place them in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

2
Make the gnocchi dough

Peel the cooled potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the flour and egg to the mashed potatoes. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms.

3
Shape the gnocchi

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 0.5 inches in diameter. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.

4
Prepare the sauce

Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the canned tomatoes, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5
Cook the gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to the tomato sauce.

6
Finish the dish

Roughly chop the basil leaves. Stir half of the chopped basil into the sauce and gnocchi. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7
Serve and enjoy

Divide the Gnocchi in Tomato Sauce among 4 serving plates. Garnish with the remaining chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
