Preparation

1. 1

   Boil whole unpeeled potatoes until completely tender, then peel while warm and pass through a ricer or mash thoroughly.

2. 2

   Mix mashed potatoes with flour and a pinch of salt, kneading lightly to form a soft, workable dough.

3. 3

   Roll dough into ropes, slice into 2 cm pieces, and drop into boiling salted water until they float, about 2 minutes; drain well.

4. 4

   In a pan, simmer minced garlic, tinned tomatoes, and olive oil for 10 minutes until thickened; season with salt and stir in fresh basil.

5. 5

   Toss boiled gnocchi directly into the tomato sauce, then transfer everything to a baking dish.

6. 6

   Top with torn fresh mozzarella and bake under a hot grill or 200°C oven for 8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
