Thermomix recipe 100% made in Italy for Potato gnocchi

Thursday gnocchi and here they are finally, I know that there already is the recipe on the basic book, but I will report my process, what we use when we do gnocchi at home.

Because as always everyone has their own, especially for traditional recipes, each family has its own and it often changes from region to region. So if you prepare the gnocchi in a different way and you like it, you do not have to change the procedure or the recipe, this is only the method we use at home, but it is certainly not the only one.
