How to Make Spaetzle

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for sautéing.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Mix flour, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together until smooth.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Using a spaetzle maker or colander, press the batter into the boiling water.

Cook until spaetzle floats to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add chopped parsley and sauté briefly.

Add cooked spaetzle to the skillet and toss to coat in butter and parsley.
