4. Season with salt and a touch of nutmeg if desired.
5. Add the egg to the warm puree and mix until combined.
6. Add flour little by little, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms.
7. Avoid kneading too much so as not to harden the gnocchi.
8. Cut portions of dough and make cylindrical strips.
9. Cut the gnocchi to the desired size and pass them through a fork or board if you wish to mark.

11. Cook the gnocchi in batches; when they rise to the surface, they are ready.
