- Friday, 7 December 2007 spinach spätzli spätzli is actually spätzle, if you are german. depending on size, spätzli can also be knöpfli (small buttons). and if you have no idea what i am talking about: spätzli is a wonderful swiss dish (plus: also a word you could use for your sweetheart - it ends with - i like all cute words in swiss german) made with fresh eggs, flour, milk, a dash of nutmeg and some spinach. its a quick and easy meal to make. you could serve it with meat - i am happy to serve it just with a salad on the side as i like to think of it as a main dish that doesnt need much else to make starving bellies happy. i am using spinach here - you could use herbs or a dash of curry or safron or even some pumpkin purree to season the spätzli. whatever your heart desires. speaking of it: nothing beats freshly made spätzli. but i must admit: there is not much else out there in the world that tastes as good as some leftover spätzli, fried in a little butter until golden with some cheese on top. - just delightful!
