SPAETZLE
Noodle-meets-dumpling: An Eastern European staple, spaetzle are tender and eggy and a great side dish for saucy mains or even a roast chicken.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Whisk the flour with the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and milk. Gradually mix the milk and eggs into the flour to make a sticky batter.
- Spray both sides of a colander with 1/4-inch-wide holes (see Cook's Note) with cooking spray then spoon the batter into the colander. Hold the colander directly above the pot of boiling water (using an oven mitt if necessary) and working quickly, use a rubber spatula to push the batter through the holes into the water. Simmer until all of the spaetzle float to the surface and are tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss the spaetzle with the butter and sprinkle with herbs, if using.
SPINACH SPAETZLE IN GAME-HEN BROTH
Somewhere between a pasta and a dumpling, these spaetzle are tender, toothsome, and fun to make. Meaning "little sparrows" in German, it's especially fitting that a spaetzle recipe found its way into this elegant soup that features game-hen.

Steps:
- Broth: In a pot just large enough to hold hens snugly side-by-side, heat oil over medium. Add leeks, thyme, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft but have not developed any color, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl. Season hens inside and out with salt and transfer to pot. Add enough water to just cover hens and bring to a boil, skimming any impurities from surface. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until hens are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Spaetzle: Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Cook spinach in a pot of generously salted boiling water until wilted and darkened slightly, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove spinach and plunge into ice-water bath; let stand until cold, about 1 minute. Set pot of water aside for later.
- Thoroughly drain and squeeze spinach dry by pressing in a ricer or wringing out in a clean kitchen towel. Transfer spinach to a food processor with eggs, oil, nutmeg, cheese, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper and purée until smooth. Add flour and pulse until no dry flour remains (dough should have the consistency of thick pancake batter).
- Broth: Transfer hens to a cutting board; strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve. Return broth to pot along with leek mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove skin and bones from hens and shred meat into bite-size pieces.
- Spaetzle: Return pot of water to a boil. Press dough through a ricer or colander directly into water. Cook until spaetzle float to the surface, swell slightly, and are tender, about 5 minutes; drain.
- Stir 2 cups shredded meat and lemon juice into pot with broth. Spoon spaetzle into serving bowls and ladle broth mixture over top. Garnish with dill, a drizzle of oil, and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Puree a 10-ounce package thawed frozen spinach (squeezed dry), 1/2 cup milk, 2 eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth. Combine with 1 3/4 cups flour in a bowl. Transfer to a cutting board; use the back of a knife to scrape off small strips of dough. Boil 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with butter, a splash of cooking water, salt and pepper.
SPINACH SPAETZLE WITH BACON AND SAGE
Spaetzle, the delicious little German dumplings (sometimes called batter noodles), are easy to make, though it takes a bit of practice. I prefer to form them with a soup spoon, flicking tiny half-moons of batter one-by-one into the pot, or to put the batter on a board and cut off thin strips of batter with a wet knife. Many cooks use a special spaetzle-making tool that forces squiggles of the batter into a pot of boiling water. Others push the batter through the holes of a colander, but for this you need to make a slightly wetter batter. These are green spaetzle, made with spinach purée, sizzled with bacon and sage leaves. (Instead of spinach, you could add chopped herbs, but plain spaetzle are divine, too.) Spaetzle take only moments to cook and can be prepared in advance, then sautéed in butter to serve.

Steps:
- Drop spinach leaves into boiling water to blanch, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain spinach and squeeze dry. Put cooked spinach in a blender or food processor with the eggs and yolks and blitz briefly to make a green purée. (Alternatively, finely chop the spinach and stir together with beaten eggs and yolks.)
- Put spinach in a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the nutmeg and the pepper. Beat in flour and 3/4 cup cold water to make a wet, sticky batterlike dough. Beat for 5 minutes, until lump free. If the mixture seems too stiff, beat in a few more tablespoons cold water. (If using a spaetzle tool, thin the batter to a more runny consistency.) Leave batter to rest at room temperature, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large wide pot of well-salted water to a boil. Stand close to the pot with the bowl of dough in one hand and a soup spoon in the other. With the edge of the spoon, grab thin slivers of dough approximately 1 inch long, dropping them one by one into the boiling water. (Cook a dozen or so at a time.) Let the spaetzle cook for 1 minute or so, until they rise to the surface. Remove with a skimmer and immediately cool in ice water. Continue until all batter is used. Drain cooked spaetzle and blot dry. (The recipe may be prepared up to this point several hours before serving.)
- Just before serving, set a large wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and let it render without browning much, about 2 minutes. Pour off fat and leave bacon in pan. Add butter and let it foam, then add sage leaves and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add cooked spaetzle and sauté, stirring with a wooden spoon until heated through and lightly browned. Transfer to a warm serving bowl. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in water, nutmeg, oil, and salt. Add 2 cups flour. Using your hands, mix until combined. Add remaining cup flour, a little at a time, until thoroughly combined and a dough forms. It may not be necessary to add all of the flour. Continue using your hands to beat the dough to remove any air pockets that may have formed. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Using an offset spatula, spread a small wooden cutting board thinly with rested dough. Cut the dough crosswise into thin pieces with the edge of the spatula, and slide into the boiling water. Alternatively, you can use a spaetzle maker. When the spaetzle begins to float, use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer to ice bath. When completely cooled, drain well, and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with enough oil to prevent it from sticking; toss to combine. The spaetzle may be made up to this point, 1 hour in advance.
- Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spaetzle, and cook until heated through. Season with salt and nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg, and herbs in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the milk, eggs, and 5 tablespoons olive oil. Whisk into flour mixture until smooth.
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Fill a potato ricer fitted with a 1/4-inch-hole attachment with batter and push it through into the boiling water, or use a colander, pushing batter through with a rubber spatula. Cook spaetzle until it floats to the top, about 30 seconds. Drain spaetzle in colander.
- Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add spinach and saute until it starts to wilt. Add spaetzle, season with salt and pepper, and cook until hot. Serve immediately.

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it well; it should tasty quite salty. Get a bowl of ice water ready. Plunge the greens into the water and boil for 1 minute (up to 4 minutes for chard). Move to the ice water to shock.
- Chop the greens roughly, leaving them wet. Put into a blender and puree. If you need to add some ice water to get the blades to turn correctly, do that. You want the puree to be as thin as heavy cream.
- Add the remaining spätzle ingredients (except the oil) to a bowl. Pour out 1 cup of puree. If you have extra you can use it in some other recipe, but it should be pretty close. Mix well. You want the batter to be slightly thicker than pancake batter. The key to remember is that you want to be able to pour it into a spätzle maker without it flowing through the holes too fast.
- Get that pot of water boiling again and make the spätzle. A spätzle maker has a little hook on it to anchor it to the edge of a pot. Rock the hopper of the maker back and forth to make the dumplings. You'll likely need to do this in several batches. When the dumplings float, give them another minute and then move to baking sheet. Toss with a little vegetable oil. When the spätzle are all done. make sure they are slightly oiled so they don't all stick together. In this way, they can be stored in the fridge a few days.
