Ingredients

1 cup ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, or buttermilk

3 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Method

1. Boil a large pot of salted water.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the flour. Blend well, then slowly stir in the flour until the mixture becomes a stiff batter.

3. Place a colander with large holes over the pot and, with a rubber spatula, press small amounts of the batter through the holes directly into the water.

4. As the spaetzle gradually rise to the surface of the boiling water, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately, while still warm.
