Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add gnocchi, and cook until they float to the top (just a few minutes). Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan. Add the garlic, and quickly sauté about one minute. (Be ready with a lid because the oil may splatter.)
Add the tomato paste and sauce, pepper flakes, and salt. Heat for 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Add about the rondelé® cheese and half of the basil. Stir until the cheese is incorporated, approximately 1 minute. Add gnocchi to the pan, and stir to coat.
Top individual portions with remaining basil.
