🇩🇪 Germany recipe

Spätzle

Spätzle are the beloved egg noodles of Swabia, southwestern Germany's comfort food par excellence. Unlike Italian pasta, the dough is wet and elastic, scraped or pressed through a perforated board directly into boiling water. The resulting noodles are irregularly shaped with a delightfully chewy, slightly springy texture that catches butter and sauce in every nook and cranny.
