Submitted by shelbi lynn to allrecipes, these are much lighter than my mother's potato gnocchis. We used to call hers "belly bombs"! We LOVED them... The times posted seem a tad hinky to me but I guess I'm required to use them as published.

How to make it
- GNOCCHI:
- Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined.
- Mix in enough to make a soft dough.
- Divide dough into 3 or 4 pieces and, on a floured surface, roll into 1/2" thick ropes.
- Cut each rope into 1" pieces and place on lightly floured baking sheet.
- Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
- SAUCE:
- Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
- Bring to a simmer over medium high heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in shredded bail and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Boil the gnocchi until they float to the top of the water, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain.
- Stir cubed mozzarella into the sauce and allow the heat of the sauce to soften NOT melt the cheese.
- Place gnocchi into serving.
- Spoon sauce on top.
