Gnocchi alla cannella

Cinnamon Gnocchi

This is a classic way to serve gnocchi in Verona. My grandmother always ate gnocchi like this.

Ingredients:

Potato Gnocchi
butter
cinnamon


Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gnocchi as indicated.
2. Melt the butter, about 1 Tbsp per serving, in a pan being careful not to brown it.
3. Put the gnocchi in the butter, mix a bit and then remove them with a slotted spoon allowing the excess butter to drip off.
4. Add cinnamon to taste and serve hot.

Notes:

Traditionally these gnocchi were served with butter, cinnamon and sugar, this is a heritage from the Austrian Empire. I'll leave that up to you and your sweet tooth.
