I wanna make Spaetzle

[Elf]

Spaetzle is really easy, I substitute it for macaroni in mac & cheese. Get a potato ricer, it is really easier the a colander, the hardest part is waiting for the water to boil.

Suzi, here is a link to a spaetzel board that looks like it would be uber easy to use. I'm thinking about ordering one to try. I tried a potato ricer without a lot of success. This looks like it might be easier to do.

Wow what a bunch of great Spaetzel ideas! Inspiring... that Green Onion Creole Mustard combination sounds to die for! Are you going to go for it Suz?

Can't remember the name of that place.... I have that episode saved also.

Im definitely gonna try....Im sure my kids would love it, the only thing is I dont have a rice cooker

You don't need a rice cooker, just a pot of boiling water. It's just like cooking pasta.

Do you mean the potato ricer?? I don't have one either, I'm going to try my large holed colander first.

Yes, my bad, thats what I meant!!!
I could try that but my colander has very small holes

If you have a steamer insert for a saucepan, you can use the holes in the bottom to make the spaetzle right into the saucepan.

I do! It also has a colander that fits into the pot, that just might work! Thanks!
