Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

Mix flour and salt in a bowl.

Add 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil; knead into a dough.

Add water as needed to achieve a smooth, non-sticky dough.

Let the dough rest for 40 minutes.

Roll out half of the dough using a KitchenAid noodle machine or rolling pin.

Cut dough into squares measuring approximately 4x4 inches.

Use store-bought creamed spinach as filling; optionally add garlic powder.

Place filling on the dough squares, moisten edges with egg white, fold, and seal with a fork.

Boil 1.5 liters of water and add chicken broth.

Add Maultaschen to boiling broth and cook for 15 minutes in batches.

Serve Maultaschen in broth, without broth, or pan-fried in butter.
