Spätzle

Spätzle is a type of egg noodle made from a simple dough of flour, eggs and water, associated with the Swabian region of Germany as well as Alsace and Baden in neighboring parts of Central Europe. The dough is pressed or scraped through a perforated plate directly into boiling water, producing short, irregular noodles with a rough, porous surface rather than the smooth strands of typical pasta. It is most often served as a side dish alongside meat in a sauce, though it can also be a main course when combined with ingredients such as cheese and onions. Spätzle remains common not only in Swabia but across southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland and neighboring regions.
