🇩🇪 Germany recipe

Käsespätzle

Käsespätzle is Germany's answer to macaroni and cheese, but infinitely more satisfying. Fresh hand-scraped Spätzle noodles are layered with a generous mixture of melted Alpine cheeses and crowned with deeply caramelized onions. Each forkful pulls long, luscious strings of cheese. It is pure Swabian comfort food, rich, stretchy, and devastatingly delicious.
