Today I’ll show you my Spaetzle Recipe.
We want to have a closer look at the popular side dish and then prepare it ourselves.
We also know Spätzle by the names Spaetzla, Spatzen and Spaetzli.
It is a Swabian or Alemannic pasta in elongated form. The related knöpfle are rather round in shape and at home in the region of Baden-Württemberg and in Bavarian Swabia.
In Austria this pasta is called Nockerl.
This is a egg pasta from fresh egg with an irregular form. The surface of this noodle is rough and porous, it absorbs sauces well.
Wish you good luck and a good appetite!

We still know the popular domestic pasta under the names, Spätzla, Spatzen and Spätzli. It is a Swabian or Alemannic pasta in an elongated shape.
The related Knöpfle are rather round in shape and are at home in the region of Baden-Württemberg and in Bavarian Swabia. In Austria, this pasta is called Nockerl.
These are egg pasta made from fresh egg with an irregular shape. The surface of this pasta is rough and porous, it absorbs sauces well.
The production: The beaten, tough dough is scraped in the traditional production over a Spätzlebrett (wooden board) directly into the boiling salt water.
Depending on the consistency of the dough, the Spätzle plane produces short Knöpfle or elongated Spätzle.
Another variant is the preparation with a spaetzle press.
The Spätzlehobel has proven itself, so the Knöpfli can be prepared successfully!
