"If you are not familiar with Spaetzle they are like noodles, but in my opinion, tastier depending how they are made and served. They have a German/Hungarian origin. After boiling the spaetzle I like to fry some cut up bacon with chopped onions, remove most of the fat an then pan fry the spaetzle Mmmm good. I use a spaetzle grater but if you do not have one roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness, slice into 1/4 inch strings and cut them to approximately 2 inches in length,cook as directed"
