Spatzle (Spaetzle Noodles)
pasta
3 cup flour; unbleached
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 eggs; large, beaten
1/2 cup ; water, or more
1/4 cup butter
Sift flour, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Pour eggs and 1/4 cup water into middle of flour mixture, beat with a wooden spoon. Add enough water to make the dough slightly sticky, yet keeping it elastic and stiff. Using a spaetzle machine or a colander with medium holes, press the noodles into a large pot full of boiling salted water. Cook noodles in the water about 5 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Lift noodles out and drain on paper towels. Brown noodles in melted butter over low heat.
