I made spaetzle for the first time at Thanksgiving. It was spaetzle and green beans with bacon in a garlic butter sauce.
It was delicious but almost killed me making it. I didn't have a colander(I think it got thrown out last time I moved) so tried to use a strainer, the holes were too small and wouldn't work. I ended up using a Manual lemon juicer. My girlfriend misread the recipe and made 20 servings of the batter.
By the time I dinner was ready I was barely able to lift my fork from trying to make all the spaetzle.
