Steps

1Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees.
2In large bowl, combine garlic, tomato paste, salt, sugar, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and 1 tablespoon oil. Whisk until ingredients are well combined. Add tomatoes and use rubber spatula to toss gently until tomatoes are coated in garlic mixture.
3Transfer tomato mixture to rimmed baking sheet and push tomatoes towards center of baking sheet. Scrape any remaining garlic mixture from bowl into center of tomatoes.
4Add gnocchi and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to now-empty bowl. Toss gently until gnocchi are coated in oil. Transfer gnocchi to edges of rimmed baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between tomatoes and gnocchi (see photo, “Step-by-Step: How to Arrange Tomatoes and Gnocchi,” below).
5Place baking sheet in oven. Bake until gnocchi are golden brown and tomatoes are blistered and browned, about 20 minutes.
6Use oven mitts to remove baking sheet from oven and place on cooling rack (ask an adult for help).
7Transfer gnocchi and tomato mixture to serving bowl (ask an adult for help). Add Parmesan and basil to bowl and gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
