If you’ve ever had the pleasure of trying Spatzle, you’ll understand why this traditional German dish is beloved by so many. These egg noodles, with their hearty texture and ability to soak up flavors, are simply delightful. But if you’ve never cooked them before, fear not! This easy guide will walk you through the steps to create your own delicious Spatzle at home.

What is Spatzle?

Spatzle is a type of German pasta made from simple ingredients such as flour, eggs, and salt. The resulting dough is then pressed through a special tool called a “Spatzle press” or pushed through a colander with large holes. The dough forms irregularly shaped noodles, which are then boiled until tender.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • A Spatzle press or colander with large holes
  • A large pot of salted water

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

2. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it.

3. Using a fork or your hands, gradually mix the eggs into the flour until a sticky dough forms.

4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil while you prepare the dough.

5. Set up your Spatzle press or place your colander over the pot of boiling water.

6. Take a portion of the dough and place it inside the press or colander.

7. Push the dough through the holes, allowing the noodles to drop into the boiling water.

8. Cook the Spatzle for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.

9. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove the cooked Spatzle from the water and transfer them to a serving dish.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 until all the dough has been used.

Serving Suggestions

Spatzle can be served in various ways, depending on your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas:

  • Toss the cooked Spatzle in melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve the Spatzle as a side dish alongside traditional German meat dishes, such as schnitzel or sausages.
  • Top the Spatzle with a rich, creamy sauce, such as mushroom sauce or cheese sauce.
  • Add cooked Spatzle to soups or stews for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Now that you have this easy guide, there’s no reason not to try cooking Spatzle yourself. Whether you’re craving a taste of Germany or simply looking for a delicious pasta alternative, Spatzle is sure to delight your taste buds.
