Preheat the oven to bake the russet potatoes.

Prick the potatoes with a fork and place them in the oven for about 1 hour.

After baking, touch the potatoes to check if they are soft.

Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes into a bowl and spread them out to cool.

Once cooled, form the potatoes into a mound and create a hole in the middle.

Add 2 eggs into the hole in the potato mound.

Pour about half of the flour into the potato mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Prepare a basic tomato sauce by placing tomatoes in a pot, along with 2 chopped onions, a stick of butter, 3 cloves of raw garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and about half a teaspoon of sugar.

Cover the pot and let the sauce cook on the stove for 60 minutes.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface.

Once the gnocchi float, drain them from the water.
