Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 180°C regular bake.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a low simmer, add the gnocchi and cook according to the packet instructions or until they are tender and float to the surface. Drain and add to the sauce. Sprinkle over the mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
