Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spaetzle

    Cook the spaetzle according to package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Once they float to the surface, cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Spaetzle

    Add the cooked spaetzle to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Sauté Until Golden

    Continue to cook the spaetzle mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spaetzle is golden brown and slightly crispy.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
