Step 1

Boil the potatoes with their skins on until they are tender.

Peel the hot potatoes and mash them into a puree.

Add starch, flour, egg yolk, 20 grams of grated cheese, and 5 grams of salt to the puree. Mix quickly until smooth.

Step 4

On a floured surface, divide the dough into several pieces, roll them into finger-thick sausages, and cut them into small pieces.

Step 5

Coat the cut gnocchi in flour.

Step 6

For the sauce, heat olive oil in a skillet, add whole garlic cloves, and pour in the tomato puree. Heat through; if the puree is too thick, add a little water or broth. Add sugar, salt, and pepper. Finally, add a few basil leaves.
