Spaetzle

This is a simple German pasta that is delicious and easy to make. It's easiest to make if you have a potato ricer to push the dough through, but you could just cut the noodles if you are good with a knife.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/3 C milk
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 C flour
• 4 tbsp butter (1/2 stick)
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
• parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Preparation

Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Add flour and stir until well combined and a dough is formed.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Use a potato ricer or colander to push the dough into small strings over the boiling water. Let the noodles cook for a minute or two, until the float.

Remove the noodes with a slotted spoon or spider. Toss with butter, pepper, and nutmeg. Optionally, garnish with parsley.
