Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until softened.

    Stir in the tomatoes and mash with a wooden spoon until the sauce is lumpy. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth.
  2. Flour a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolks, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the flour and mix well.

    Place tablespoons of dough onto a floured baking sheet. Shake the sheet back and forth, coating the dough with flour and smoothing the edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the cooled dumplings and cook until they float to the surface and are tender, 4-5 minutes.

    Using a slotted spoon, remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve the gnocchi in tomato sauce, drizzled with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Top with Parmesan cheese.
