1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, gnocchi, marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
