2 cups plain flour
salt & white pepper to taste
2 eggs
4 tablespoon chopped Garlic Chives
4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese – the dried variety.
(Do not use any fresh grated cheese in the mixture because as soon as it hits the boiling water – it will disintegrate.)
Any tasty hard dried cheese like Parmesan, Pecorino or Asiago is fine.
Method:
- Make spaetzle as per basic recipe:

- Add chopped chives and Parmesan cheese.
- Cook as usual through a spaetzle maker over boiling water.
