Wash the potatoes and place them in a pot of cold water.

Boil the potatoes until soft, then drain them.

In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

Add 3 cans of San Marzano tomatoes to the saucepan and season with salt.

Remove the garlic from the sauce once it starts boiling and mash the tomatoes with a potato masher or immersion blender to desired consistency.

Let the tomato sauce simmer uncovered on medium-low heat.

Once the potatoes are soft, remove the skins while they are still hot.

Pass the peeled potatoes through a ricer into a bowl.

Add 1 egg, 3 teaspoons of salt, and 3 cups of flour to the potatoes.

Mix the ingredients gently until a dough forms, adding more flour if necessary.

Let the dough rest for a while before shaping the gnocchi.

Divide the dough into pieces and roll each piece into a long rope about 1 inch thick.

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.

Roll each piece with your fingers to create a pillow shape and place them on a floured surface to rest.
