Yummy Gnocchi with Cinnamon Butter

1 stick of butter
1 cinnamon stick OR teaspoon of cinnamon
1 package storebought gnocchi {found in your frozen food section}
Salt
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Melt the butter with the cinnamon  in a  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 if you used one.. from the butter sauce and reheat the sauce over low heat. Transfer the cooked gnocchi to the hot cinnamon butter in the skillet. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon if you used only the stick before. ENJOY!
