Ingredients
- 4 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon + teaspoon sunflower oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons curly parsley coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh sage coarsely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Prep note: a spaetzle maker, or a food mill fitted with a medium disk, or a colander with 1/4-inch holes is needed to prepare this dish.
- Bring a 4 to 6-quart heavy pot of lightly salted water to a boil and keep at a bare simmer. Fill a large bowl with very cold water with a few ice cubes and set aside.
- Whisk together flour and a 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, eggs, and heavy cream in another bowl, then whisk into flour until batter is smooth.
- Working over barely simmering water, force half of batter through spaetzle maker, food mill or colander.
- As spaetzle float to surface (after about 1 minute), transfer to bowl of cold water with a mesh skimmer or sieve, then place into a large sieve to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Toss drained spaetzle with oil.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a deep 12-ince heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides and add spaetzle. (Skillet will be full). Saute, stirring occasionally, until golden on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to spaetzle along with parsley, chives, thyme, sage, nutmeg, remaining salt, and pepper. Gently stir to coat.
Chef's Narrative

Here in America, the dish has transformed to many modern interpretations that can be served alongside meat or mushroom dishes or in place of macaroni in your favorite mac & cheese recipe.
