The name spaetzle is German for "little sparrow," which is what the shape of these tiny noodles or dumplings resemble. Serve them as a side dish—tossed with a little melted butter like potatoes or rice, or topped with a creamy sauce or gravy. If you want to make them quickly, look for a spaetzle maker in your favorite kitchenware store.

I lived in Southern Germany for 6 years and learned to make Spaetzle. This recipe is very good here I have tried it and it comes very close to the Spaetzle recipes I learned from my German neighbors. Although the picture that is next to the recipe looks like Pizza. Spaetzle is a Pasta not a pizza. The picture looks yummy though and wonder what recipe it represents.

Spaetzle are sooooo yummy. I love them swimming is goulash or chicken paprikash sauce. Sometimes even with just a bit of butter and salt and pepper (or vanilla sugar or maple syrup!) However, the photo above is not of spaetzle but of a pizza. Someone goofed!

My mother used to make this sometimes, both of her parents were born in Germany. Very simple, very easy and very good as a side item when nothing esle seems to work with your main dish. Do not try to use a wire mesh collander, use one with holes in it as if drilled. In a pinch, a garlic press will work, but it is a bit slow. This is quite bland unless you spice it up - I use cajun seasoning, but a mixture of cayenne, salt, pepper, paprika, really anything you want would be fine, including herbs like basil, sage, etc. They are like dumplings, or egg noodles, or something in between. Melt 1/2 stick butter ad mix in after draining.
