What do I do with this Spaetzle?

[Hulagn1971]

I was rummaging through the pantry for wide egg noodles and found this. Recipes or uses anyone?

You could make the October Team cook - snitzel and spaetzel, or make some Kasespatzen, layering Swiss cheese with the cooked noodles and then topping off with cooked down onions.

or a Hungarian Goulash or even stroganoff.

[Hulagn1971]

That sounds really good and fairly easy. I like easy lol.

The hard part is making the Spaetzel. Get passed that n you nearly have it licked!

I am now projecting the ecowper image over Gotham. It shouldn't be long now. To the Spaetzle Cave....!!

[Hulagn1971]

I'll be waiting with bated breath 🫡

On a night where I didn't fell led to cook, my wife made this to go with the spaetzle noodles she found in our pantry. We loved it.

That looks absolutely delicious.

I was busy sleeping after having been out to dinner and totally missed this lol. Two most common things in Germany is to cook and eat as your starch or to cook and make kaesespaetzle, which is literally cheese spaetzle. Layers of cheese and spaetzle topped with carmelized onions

good main dishes - schnitzel, chicken paprikas, goulash, pork stew …. Basically any German or Hungarian main. Kaesespaetzle is a main all by itself and is common on Friday in catholic families in southern Germany.

enjoy!

the daring gourmet’s kaesespaetzle recipe looks solid

ecowper great ideas, thank you sir!

[ecowper]

Also, you could make lentils and put on the spaetzle and add a sausage. Nom

[Hulagn1971]

ecowper that sounds good too but I can't eat all of that...wife is not a fan of beans :O

[Pobeque]

Blanch like pasta then into a pan to brown with butter finish with some soft herbs (parsely or fines herbes if you want to get nuts)

Here ya go, Hulagn1971 - I found a photo on the board of my Oma’s Goulash with spatzen. You can also make mashed potatoes to serve with. And, recipe for Oma’s Goulash!

[ecowper]

that's a solid recipe ..... I should post the one I learned in Budapest when we were there last December. Stacy and I took a cooking class that was very awesome and I have all the recipes from it.

You are welcome Hulagn1971 and @ecowper

my Oma is from Ulm, Germany - she turned 90 last month - I know she would love knowing others are making her goulash! And all this goulash talk…I’ll be making this over the weekend or early next week…may wait for my son to get home for the holiday, as i know he loves it as well!

[Carolyn]

This looks good and easy. Thank your Oma for me.

[CaptainMike]

[barelfly]

Here's the Lentils and Spaetzle recipe I make .... stole it from The Daring Gourmet and then tuned it to my own liking. I eat this every time I'm in Stuttgart, which is not often enough. So, I have to make my own.

[ecowper]

Hulagn1971 I included lentils and spaetzle recipe "just in case" :-D
