Hi guys !
You may have noticed, but lately I’m a bit nostalgic about Alsace, the region where I was born and where I grew up, so I need to cook and bake Alsatian dishes. Today is one of theses days and I’m happy to introduce the Alsatian noodles “Spaetzles”!! It’s the main side dish in any good restaurant in Alsace …
I know it’s hard or even impossible for some of you to pronounce, but don’t let this small detail frighten you !! 🙂 Spaetzles !! Spaetzles !!
So my spaetzles are little fresh noodles, super easy to cook. You can eat them fried with butter, or with your meat, fish, sausages, with sauce or not, with vegetables … Let me put it this way : spaetzles is the side dish you are going to love !!
It is also a very cheap meal (you only need flour, eggs, water and salt !) that is going to be loved by your whole family. Your kids will ask for them all them time …
You can also find those spaetzles noodles in Germany, in Switzerland, in the North of Italy or in Austria, but don’t get me wrong ! It is an Alsatian meal, end of discussion!!
Okay, no need to argue, shall we just go for the recipe ? 😉
