How to make it
- Read the gnocchi package instructions; shelf-stable brands can differ in their cooking methods.
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the gnocchi, following the package directions for any required water or oil.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir gently so the gnocchi stays intact.
- Simmer until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce is heated through.
- Tear the measured fresh basil over the warm gnocchi just before serving, dividing it evenly among four portions.
