TRADITIONAL SPäTZLE
Spätzle (pronounced "shpetz-luh") is a German-Austrian version of fresh pasta. Austrian chef Wolfgang Ban uses plenty of eggs, which makes the noodles very fluffy, and adds a pinch of nutmeg. This recipe makes 4 cups, which you can serve immediately with Ban's silky crème fraîche sauce, or toss with a bit of oil before freezing.

Steps:
- Spätzle: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 4 egg yolks, 4 whole eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium-high until combined, 10 seconds. Turn off mixer and grate a bit of nutmeg into the eggs (just a hint will go a long way!); add the flour. Start mixing on low, then on medium-high until combined, 20 seconds. Check the consistency: the mixture should have the viscosity of thick pancake batter. To achieve this, add ½ cup water, and use the whisk attachment to beat the batter on high; with the mixer on, add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter reaches proper consistency, another 1-2 minutes. (Makes 2½ cups batter.)
- Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set aside. To the boiling water, add 2 large pinches salt and 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil. Working in batches, cook the spätzle: Set the spätzle-maker over the pot. Add two ladles of batter to the sliding box; move the box back and forth over the grate and allow the batter to fall into the boiling water. Once the water comes to a boil again, stir the spätzle a few times to prevent clumping and to finish cooking, 1 more minute.
- When all the spätzle are fluffy and floating on the surface of the water, use a strainer to transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking, about 1 minute. Next, strain them from the ice bath, place in a bowl, and stir in ½ tablespoon oil to prevent sticking. Set aside. Repeat with remaining batter. (At this point, you can freeze the fully cooked spätzle in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before using. Makes about 4 cups.)
- Cream Sauce: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup water, followed by ¼ cup crème fraîche, two pinches of salt, and a few gratings of nutmeg; stir to combine. Add 1 cup of spätzle in an even layer (note: sauce and spätzle can be doubled in a larger skillet). Add a few grinds of black pepper, and gently simmer to reduce the sauce, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes. As the water evaporates, the spätzle will become evenly coated with sauce and plump up. Meanwhile, finely mince the chives. Set aside.
- When almost all the liquid is gone and the sauce has thickened up, taste and adjust seasoning. Add two tablespoons of minced chives and toss or stir to combine. Repeat with remaining servings of spätzle. Plate and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Begin with the German meatballs: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 24 (1 1/2-inch round) meatballs. Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure to drain well as you cook the meaty mixture. Add beef broth, mushrooms, and onion. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, blend sour cream, flour, and caraway seed. Add to the simmering broth and meatballs.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spaetzle by sifting together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk and beat well. Place in a coarse-sieved colander and sieve (pushing the batter through the holes of the colander) directly over a rapidly boiling pot of lightly salted water. Cook for about 5 minutes, drain.
- Sprinkle spaetzle with a mixture of fine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter.
- Place a large portion of the spaetzle on a serving platter and hollow out a well in the center. Spoon meatballs and sauce in the center of the spaetzle and serve warm.

- Place all the meatball ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and knead to thoroughly combine. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls or whatever size you prefer.
- Heat some oil in a skillet and once hot add the meatballs, browning on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and discard all but a tablespoon or so of grease.
- Add the onions to the skillet and fry until translucent and golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for another minute (don't fry garlic too long or it becomes bitter). Add the mushrooms and fry until they've released their juices and they're mostly evaporated. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter to the skillet and melt it. Add the flour and whisk until dissolved. Continue whisking vigorously for another minute or two until the flour mixture is a deep golden brown. (We're creating what's called a roux, a French term and the grand secret for creating an irresistibly rich and flavorful sauce.)

SPAETZLE: 9 RECIPES FOR THIS DELIGHTFUL GERMAN SIDE DISH
From greatist.com
- Cheese spaetzle. Spaetzle are a sturdy addition to soups — or try them crisped up with a bit of butter and served with sausage. Here, the addition of Gruyère cheese gives these versatile little dumplings extra richness.
- Herb spaetzle. Mixed fresh herbs upgrade just about any savory food, and spaetzle is no exception! We’re imagining this herby version as the base for meatballs or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
- Green pea spaetzle with smoked salmon sauce. Frozen peas are blended up with the liquid (water and eggs) in this recipe, then incorporated with the flour.
- Portobello paprikash with spaetzle. Say “portobello paprikash” three times fast. (Just kidding — saying “spaetzle” is hard enough.) This vegetarian dinner uses meaty portobellos to create a sturdy, creamy sauce that tops nutmeg-infused dumplings.
- Homemade German spaetzle. Want the authentic German spaetzle experience? Look no further than this quintessential recipe. Four ingredients is all it takes to achieve Old World authenticity.
- Sweet potato spaetzle with kale pesto. Sure, spaetzle starts with flour and eggs, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add novel ingredients — like sweet potatoes!
- Spaetzle, wild mushrooms, and broccoli rabe with Thai yellow curry sauce. The name might give you a double-take, as this is such an eclectic recipe. The flavors, though, blend earthy, bitter, spicy and sweet — the perfect complex topping for fresh spaetzle.
- Lemon, ricotta, and thyme spaetzle. These light, zippy, springlike spaetzle take a dip in browned butter and emerge with lots of deep, nutty flavor. Meanwhile, the ricotta in the spaetzle batter keeps things airy and delicate.
- German lentils with spaetzle. German food may be known for being meat-heavy, but some traditional dishes are actually plant-based! This recipe subs the usual sausages or chops for a veggie-rich lentil stew that’s almost like a German curry.
