Begin by boiling the potatoes with their skins on in a pot of salted water until they are completely cooked through and tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, start making the tomato garlic sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned.
Add the tomatoes to the saucepan, crushing them if they are whole. Season with salt and pepper, and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped basil leaves in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth.
On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center. Add the mashed potatoes and the egg to the well. Season with a pinch of salt.
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a fork, bringing the flour into the potato mixture until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough gently until it is smooth but not overworked.
Divide the dough into several pieces and roll each piece into a long rope, about 2 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches, dropping them into the boiling water. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
Toss the cooked gnocchi in the tomato garlic sauce, and serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil leaves if desired.
