Colander Spaetzle

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

How to make Colander Spaetzle
