Baked Gnocchi

They sells gnocchi in a big three pack at Sam's, but they usually have it in the dried pasta aisle.

One bag of gnocchi

olive oil

one yellow onion, chopped

8 minced garlic cloves

1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes

28 ounces of crushed tomatoes

1 cup of water

1/2 cup shredded basil

2 cups of shredded mozzarella

Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven safe skillet. Brown the gnocchi for about four minutes. Remove from the pan, and add more olive oil. Add the onion, and cook until translucent, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and the water. Stir until slightly thickened. Add the basil and the gnocchi back to the pan. Stir over low heat until the gnocchi is tender...about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and place in a 475 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and borwned slightly.
