We first had spätzle in Germany, which probably surprises no one, and we quickly fell in love with it. It’s a very simple recipe that provides you with pillow soft egg noodles. You can make these with a Spätzlehobel (spätzle maker) OR you can push the dough through colander or you can try your hand at cutting them on the edge of a board which looked like all together too much work. Yeah the maker is a mono-tasker but for $5 it was worth it for me.
