In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, usually about 2-3 minutes.

Drain the gnocchi and add them directly to the skillet with the beef sauce. Toss to combine.

Divide the gnocchi and beef sauce among serving plates.

Top with grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil before serving.
