spaetzle
Swabian egg noodles
Spaetzle are small, soft egg noodles or dumplings from German and Central European cuisine.
The dough—flour, eggs, and milk or water—is pressed through a colander or special tool directly into boiling water, creating irregular, chewy bits.
Spaetzle typically accompany stews and braised meats or get pan-fried in butter: The goulash came with a side of spaetzle.
