Grana padano is a more affordable cheese with similar flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float, then drain.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant.

Add tomato sauce to the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a baking dish, layer half of the gnocchi and half of the tomato sauce.

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Repeat the layers with the remaining gnocchi, sauce, and mozzarella.

Top with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
