This homemade colander spaetzle is a wonderfully comforting vegetarian dish that brings the authentic flavours of Central Europe to your kitchen. Traditionally served as a rustic alternative to pasta, these small, tender dumplings are made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and creamy ricotta or yogurt. The addition of aromatic nutmeg and white pepper provides a subtle warmth that complements rich stews or simple buttery sauces beautifully.
Quick to prepare and incredibly versatile, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a satisfying family meal that feels special yet requires minimal equipment. By using a standard kitchen colander to shape the dough, you can achieve perfect results without needing a specialist press. Serve these golden dumplings immediately, perhaps tossed with melted butter and fresh herbs, for a nutritious and heart-healthy homemade treat.

Ingredients for Colander Spaetzle
240ml ricotta cheese, Greek yoghurt, or buttermilk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1/2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
325g plain flour
How to make Colander Spaetzle
Boil a large pot of salted water.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the flour. Blend well, then slowly stir in the flour until the mixture becomes a stiff batter.
Place a colander with large holes over the pot and, with a rubber spatula, press small amounts of the batter through the holes directly into the water.
As the spaetzle gradually rise to the surface of the boiling water, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately, while still warm.
