These tender homemade noodles take only minutes to make and are a natural accompaniment to Mom's chicken. You can enjoy them with the chicken gravy or simply buttered and sprinkled with parsley. —Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

Very yummy! My Oma(grandmother) used to boil the Spaetzle and then saute in a pan with a little oil, onion, parsley and bacon. YUM!

This was our first attempt at spaetzle... we found it to be a two person job (moral support was required for how much we managed to wreck the kitchen!).Things we learned: a flat, hand held cheese grater was great for dropping the spaetzle into the water. Next time, I think we'll do this in shifts, letting a small amount cook and then pulling it out of the water. We managed to overcook almost all of it!Also, I'm planning on salting the water next time, just like I would with making noodles. All in all, thanks for the recipe! I'm excited to try it again!

Easy, plain, but excellent! Initially I served with butter and they were great, but my husband loved the homemade chicken gravy with his.

This was awful. The dough wouldn't press through the collander after a while, and it was too salty. I would not make this again.

It's easy to make Spaghetti-Eis: (Dessert) Use a creamy vanilla ice cream and push it through your press into a serving dish. You may wish to place the dish into the freezer to firm up the ice cream "noodles". When ready to serve, top with a home-made or commercial strawberry sauce - try (Fruit Spread) - as the "Tomato Sauce". Coconut flakes, shaved white chocolate or grated blanched almonds will serve as your "grated cheese".

Wow, I still cannot believe that I was able to make spaetzle!?! I've loved this dish at fancy German restaurants and was amazed at how easy it was to make. I was by no means tidy at it, but it worked, and my husband gave me rave reviews.

I've lost count on how many times I've made this recipe. If you find that you are making this recipe as a noodle for soup - buy a Spaetzle Press (Kull if possible from Germany) and save yourself a lot of time. I've used the Spaetzle maker but that texture is more fitting for a side dish. The Spaetzle Press results are as delicious as my mom's homemade Polish kluski without rolling dough. My grandchildren love these noodles.

My mother made this type of dough and dropped the dumpling dough with a spoon (maybe 1 tsp ea.) into boiling chicken broth, dipping spoon & all into broth so dumpling would slide off the spoon. Good soup!

We had this with the chicken and loved it. I'm not a fan of homeade noodles, but these I'd have just about any way you made them! Thanks again!

I make this recipe all of the time, and depending what I am making it for, I sometimes do a half or third of whole wheat, the flavor changes a bit, but it isn't a bad change, just different. One of my favorite ways to use this recipe is to have chopped tomatoes, chives, garlic powder, and parmesan with about a quarter cup butter in a bowl. When the spatzle is done, I drain and pour into the bowl I toss and add some of cream and pepper. My family really likes it. I love this recipe--thanks.

Just about to try this recipe. Any reason what the 2 tsp of salt versus 1/2 tsp. Does this affect the cooking??

Can I use half white flour and half wheat flour to make a bit healthy or not?~LT
