Gnocchi alla Sorrentina

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
3. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water; cover with a lid to maintain high temperature.
4. Cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, then drain.
5. In a baking dish, spread a layer of hot tomato sauce.
6. Add the drained gnocchi.
7. Add the mozzarella, previously cut into small pieces and left at room temperature for about an hour to release excess liquid.
8. Add torn basil leaves.
9. Grate Parmigiano Reggiano over the top and add a few shavings for crunch.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until the surface is golden and bubbly.
11. Serve hot.
