Start by grating your tomatoes onto your serving bowl or plate. Use the large hole of the grater and grate until you are left with the skin of the tomato, which you can discard. 

Add the garlic to the tomato and mix together. Season well with salt and a good drizzle of olive oil.

Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add another good drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Add the gnocchi and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Season with salt then spoon over the tomato mixture.

Scatter the basil over the top before serving.
