GERMAN SPAETZLE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spaetzle batter. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt; stir to blend.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of milk with the eggs.
- Add the milk and eggs to the flour mixture and beat with a wooden spoon or whisk until the batter is smooth and elastic. It will have a consistency similar to pancake batter. When you lift the spoon, it shouldn't flow; it should drip from it slowly. If too thick, add some milk, and if too thin, add more flour. Let the batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place your spaetzle maker or another slotted utensil over the simmering water; add some of the spaetzle batter, and press it through the holes and into the gently boiling water. The spaetzle cook quickly, so it's best to cook them in two or more batches depending on the method you use.
- The spaetzle will take from 1 to 3 minutes to cook, depending on their size. The dumplings will float to the top when done.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the spaetzle to a bowl and toss with a teaspoon or two of butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- At this point, you may sauté the cooked spaetzle (see below) or refrigerate until it's time to sauté and serve. If you're skipping the sauté step and are serving them immediately, taste and add more salt and butter, as needed, along with the freshly ground black pepper and herbs. Toss and serve hot. Sauté the Spaetzle
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until lightly browned.
- Add the spaetzle to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté the spaetzle, stirring frequently, for about 3 to 7 minutes, or browned as desired. Taste the sauteéd spaetzle and add salt, as needed, along with freshly ground black pepper and fresh herbs. Toss and serve hot.

SPAETZLE WITH MUSHROOMS IN CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Set a large pot of water, covered, to boil over high heat for the pasta.
- In a large pan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the minced garlic and shallot, lower the heat to low, and sauté until softened and transparent, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms , raise the heat to medium-low, and sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl, cover with a lid or inverted plate to keep warm, and set aside.
- When the water is boiling, add about 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt. When the water returns to a full rolling boil, add the pasta. Cook for 2 minutes less than package instructions (or until it is somewhat tender but there is still a white core when you take a bite of a test piece). Drain it and rinse quickly in cold water, then drain again thoroughly.
- Melt the remaining 2 teaspoons of butter in the pan used to cook the mushrooms over low heat and add the spaetzle. Add the mushrooms mixture, raise the heat to medium, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the spaetzle is slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cream, lower the heat to low, and cook just until heated through and the cream starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with the finely minced parsley and/or chives, if using. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onions to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary, and saute until translucent and beginning to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mushroom mixture to pork and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and whisk in the flour, continuing to whisk until the mixture is a rich caramel brown. Add the milk and heavy cream, whisking continually, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Add the paprika and crumble in the beef bouillon and whisk until smooth.
- Return the meat mixture to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk if the sauce is too thick, or add a flour slurry to thicken.
- Serve immediately with hot spaetzle or egg noodles and a fresh green salad.
TRADITIONAL SPäTZLE
Spätzle (pronounced "shpetz-luh") is a German-Austrian version of fresh pasta. Austrian chef Wolfgang Ban uses plenty of eggs, which makes the noodles very fluffy, and adds a pinch of nutmeg. This recipe makes 4 cups, which you can serve immediately with Ban's silky crème fraîche sauce, or toss with a bit of oil before freezing.

Steps:
- Spätzle: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 4 egg yolks, 4 whole eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium-high until combined, 10 seconds. Turn off mixer and grate a bit of nutmeg into the eggs (just a hint will go a long way!); add the flour. Start mixing on low, then on medium-high until combined, 20 seconds. Check the consistency: the mixture should have the viscosity of thick pancake batter. To achieve this, add ½ cup water, and use the whisk attachment to beat the batter on high; with the mixer on, add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter reaches proper consistency, another 1-2 minutes. (Makes 2½ cups batter.)
- Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set aside. To the boiling water, add 2 large pinches salt and 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil. Working in batches, cook the spätzle: Set the spätzle-maker over the pot. Add two ladles of batter to the sliding box; move the box back and forth over the grate and allow the batter to fall into the boiling water. Once the water comes to a boil again, stir the spätzle a few times to prevent clumping and to finish cooking, 1 more minute.
- When all the spätzle are fluffy and floating on the surface of the water, use a strainer to transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking, about 1 minute. Next, strain them from the ice bath, place in a bowl, and stir in ½ tablespoon oil to prevent sticking. Set aside. Repeat with remaining batter. (At this point, you can freeze the fully cooked spätzle in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before using. Makes about 4 cups.)
- Cream Sauce: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup water, followed by ¼ cup crème fraîche, two pinches of salt, and a few gratings of nutmeg; stir to combine. Add 1 cup of spätzle in an even layer (note: sauce and spätzle can be doubled in a larger skillet). Add a few grinds of black pepper, and gently simmer to reduce the sauce, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes. As the water evaporates, the spätzle will become evenly coated with sauce and plump up. Meanwhile, finely mince the chives. Set aside.
- When almost all the liquid is gone and the sauce has thickened up, taste and adjust seasoning. Add two tablespoons of minced chives and toss or stir to combine. Repeat with remaining servings of spätzle. Plate and serve immediately.

SPAETZLE: 9 RECIPES FOR THIS DELIGHTFUL GERMAN SIDE DISH
From greatist.com
- Cheese spaetzle. Spaetzle are a sturdy addition to soups — or try them crisped up with a bit of butter and served with sausage. Here, the addition of Gruyère cheese gives these versatile little dumplings extra richness.
- Herb spaetzle. Mixed fresh herbs upgrade just about any savory food, and spaetzle is no exception! We’re imagining this herby version as the base for meatballs or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
- Green pea spaetzle with smoked salmon sauce. Frozen peas are blended up with the liquid (water and eggs) in this recipe, then incorporated with the flour.
- Portobello paprikash with spaetzle. Say “portobello paprikash” three times fast. (Just kidding — saying “spaetzle” is hard enough.) This vegetarian dinner uses meaty portobellos to create a sturdy, creamy sauce that tops nutmeg-infused dumplings.
- Homemade German spaetzle. Want the authentic German spaetzle experience? Look no further than this quintessential recipe. Four ingredients is all it takes to achieve Old World authenticity.
