Directions:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-heat. Add the garlic and sausage. Fry, stirring frequently, until the sausage is cooked through. Remove and discard the garlic. 

Add 1 teaspoon of the saffron threads, basil, diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and continue simmering for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and 1 teaspoon of saffron to the boiling water and cook gnocchi according to the package instructions.
