Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cinnamon stick
1 package storebought gnocchi
Salt
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the cinnamon stick in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water until all the gnocchi rise to the surface, about 3 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick from the butter sauce and reheat the sauce over low heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the hot cinnamon butter in the skillet. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon. Toss to coat and add more sugar, to taste.
  • Spoon the gnocchi and butter sauce into shallow bowls and serve immediately.
