Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions (about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface). Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
Stir in the spinach leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss with the vegetables to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
