Ingredients:
- 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach, packed
- 3 large (150g) eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt (for boiling water)
- black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Place the fresh spinach, eggs, salt, and nutmeg into the blender.
- Blitz on high until the mixture is completely smooth and a vivid, uniform green.
- Pour the liquid into a mixing bowl and whisk in the flour until just combined; the batter should be thick and glossy.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Fill a spaetzle press or ricer with the batter and slowly press the dough into the boiling water in small increments.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the noodles from the water as soon as they rise to the surface (usually 2–3 minutes).
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam and smell nutty.
- Add the boiled spaetzle in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes.
- Toss gently and remove from heat once the edges are mahogany-colored and slightly crisp.
