Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, oregano, basil, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Add the gnocchi to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.

• Transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened. The top should be lightly golden brown.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

• For a more golden and bubbly top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. (Optional)
