    Looks good. One minor thing, those are Knöpfle, not Spätzle. They’re basically the same thing and can be used interchangeably, but they have a different shape. Some people prefer the one, some the other. I think Knöpfle are better with thick sauces while Spätzle are better plain (next to sauce, Knöpfle are made to be drenched IMHO) and or with browned butter. Both are excellent with hearty cheese melted into (not like mac and cheese though).

    Edit: and I think it’s a regional thing as well. Where I’m from, Knöpfle are the preferred variant, where I live now it’s the other way around.

      I bought them premade from Costco in the USA, so I would not have expected them to get it right 😂. It was just okay… I’ve had it homemade at a German restaurant in San Francisco that was much better! Eventually I will make it to Germany and have the real thing
