Instructions

Cook gnocchi according to package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes in boiling salted water), until they float. Drain and set aside.

While gnocchi cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 4–5 minutes until translucent.

Add minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in tomato paste, then add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes to develop flavor. Season with salt and pepper.

Add drained gnocchi to the sauce; gently toss to coat evenly. Let cook together 1–2 minutes so flavors meld.

Stir in Parmesan and fresh herbs.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of herbs.
