Squid gnocchi

Mix the squid in the Magimix until smooth and divide into two equal portions.

Add the ink to one part and season both parts with salt.

Transfer into two piping bags and pipe the mixture into ball-shaped moulds.

Freeze the balls and then remove from the mould.

Store in the freezer.

Heat the cream soup base, add the paste and season with salt.
