  6. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix until well mixed. Add a little flour if necessary.
  7. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pour a little more flour on top, until the dough forms and does not stick to the hands.
  8. Take small pieces of dough, and on a lightly floured surface, form long thick cords about 2 cm thick.
  9. Cut the gnocchi with the knife and shape with the back of the fork.
