Receta Spaetzle with Succulent Beef
Our good german friend Helmut Solfrank loves to cook Spaetzle. He recently returned from a summer vacation in Germany and brought us a Spaetzle maker back! It's a simple device for making this very simple, but tasty, German pasta of flour, water and oil. You want to serve it with a flavorful meat stew with lots of juice/gravy. We made it last night with the recipe below and it was delicious. I hope you'll try it and enjoy it this Fall!
