Spaetzle is a German dumpling noodle, and surprisingly easy to make! I've been wanting to make a spaetzle for so long, and this simple, buttery, vegetable-forward recipe was the perfect one for cold winter days! Everything comes together in two pots, and yes, you can use a slotted spoon to make the spaetzle instead of a ricer. I won't tell anyone.
