- While the gnocchi is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn!
- Next, toss in the crushed tomatoes, along with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- When the gnocchi is ready, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
