Equipment

  • spaetzle round noodle maker
  • 6-quart stock pot

  • Boil noodles for about 2 minutes. When they float up,they are done.

  • When finished boiling the noodles, melt some butter in a frying pan and saute the noodles until they just start to turn golden brown.
  • Top with fresh parsley.

Notes

I made two batches of this and there were plenty leftover. I also served with grated, fresh parmesan cheese.
