I had my first baby in the early evening–and I was so excited that I stayed up all night looking at him–with the Food Channel muted. I thought about all the wonderful homemade foods and after school treats that I would make for my little guy. Little did I know he would nurse forever and be homeschooled . . . so my baby food exploration and after school snacks were put on hold for a very long time. I love to cook creatively. What I didn’t realize that night I turned into a Mom it would be several years before I would be appreciated (by my kids) for my creativity in the kitchen!
This however is one recipe that my kids love. I always have butter, sugar, cinnamon and gnocchi (or in a pinch I’ll use pasta).
- this is so good!
Cook gnocchi according to the package–I buy frozen or make my own–it only takes a few minutes in boiling water.
Melt 1/2 stick of butter, 1/8 cup sugar and cinnamon until the sugar is dissolved–but not too hot or the sugar will burn!
Toss cinnamon sauce with gnocchi.
I serve this with a fruit salad or a green salad that has oranges or cranberries.

Oooh, this sounds yummy! Never thought about making sweet gnocchi, but I like the idea!
I’ve made a simple nutella sauce to go on it . . . we like to play with our food!

Looks delicious!
It really is fast and easy!

Hi Renee! I love the new site! It’s great. And this cinnamon gnocchi — yum! My kids are home from school today for a snow day, so I needed an idea for lunch. I’m gonna’ try it. Can’t wait. :)
Thanks Brianna!
I make cinnamon noodles when I don’t have gnocchi in the house.
