Begin by finely chopping the spring onion and garlic. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan (preferably ovenproof) over medium heat and gently sauté the onion and garlic until softened, without allowing them to brown too much. A pinch of salt can help the onion release its moisture and soften more quickly.
Once softened, add the canned whole tomatoes, lightly breaking them up with a spatula. Season with a little more salt to taste and, if desired, add a teaspoon of sugar to reduce the acidity of the tomatoes. Allow the sauce to simmer until the liquid has reduced by approximately half.
While the sauce is nearly ready, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, removing them as soon as they rise and float to the surface. Add the cooked gnocchi to the tomato sauce, stir well, and add a couple of ladles of the cooking water to help combine everything.
If you have not used an ovenproof pan, transfer the gnocchi and sauce to a baking dish. Top with sliced mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C using conventional top and bottom heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, switch the oven to the grill setting and cook until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Serve immediately and garnish with a few fresh basil leaves.
