Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, mashing lightly to create a chunky sauce.
Stir in the cream and let simmer gently, allowing flavors to meld.
Add the spices to the sauce and toss in the gnocchi, simmering for about 3-5 minutes.
Just before serving, add the diced mozzarella to the pot, letting it melt slightly.
