Homemade Spatzle, Or as we like to call it Bavarian Pasta

One of the husbands specialties is cooking.... and one of my all time favorites is Spatzle.

The husband is a Dutchman, raised in Bavaria living in America for 30 years now. So he is full of culinary surprises and I am the very lucky recipient.

Ingredients:
1 dozen Eggs
Flour (enough to make a dough like consistency, but runny enough to slide through the holes in Spatzle maker)
Salt

Mix it up

 

We use a Spatzle maker from my parents that they purchased on vacation in Germany many years ago.

 

Add some dough to the top.

Here is the Husband in action... dropping the noodles into salted boiling water.

Let them boil until they float to the top. Remove with slotted spoon and drop into ice cold water.
This sets the noodle.
Let drain in a colander.

Finished noodles.... Yummy, light and delicious.

The Husband then sautes the Spatzle in a little butter until they start to turn golden brown.
Salt and pepper to taste.
We served with Roasted Duck and Mushroom Gravy.

And it is very... very good!
