Directions
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine; cook until most liquid has evaporated. Add tomatoes and juice, tomato sauce, basil, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until slightly thick, about 30 minutes. Season with black pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
2. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil; add the gnocchi and when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, one minute. Drain in colander or transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to pan with sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
