Instructions

Form small "meatballs" with the 1 pound mild or hot ground Italian sausage, each one being about 2 teaspoons worth of meat.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat half of the 3 tablespoons olive oil, over medium-high heat, and add about half of the meatballs. Gently turn the meatballs over and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are browned but not cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil for the meatballs and repeat with the remaining meatballs. Remove the rest of those meatballs to the plate. Quickly wipe out the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the ¼ cup olive oil. When the oil is hot, add in the 5-6 cloves minced garlic. As soon as the garlic sizzles, gently add in the 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes.
Pour 1 cup water into the tomato can and stir to get all the tomatoes and juices out, pour that into the skillet as well. Add ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Add 1 sprig fresh basil and submerge it in the sauce.
Add the cooked meatballs into the mixture and gently stir until they are covered in the sauce. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until completely cooked through. Discard the basil sprig.
Meanwhile, prepare the 2 (16-ounce) packages mini potato gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and plate the gnocchi with the meatballs and sauce on top.
Garnish with fresh basil, additional cracked pepper, & freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
