- 2 TS butter
- 2 TS oil

Steps:
- Boil 1 liter of water in a wide pot, add the salt and cook the pasta following the instructions.

Info Box:
„Spätzle“ are made of fresh egg and some flour. They come along in a thick long shape (like little finger) and have a rough surface. That makes them the perfect partner for sauces as they tend to adopt it easily. Since 2012 Spätzle must be produced in a certain area in the south of Germany (Swabia).
