Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 3 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 4 quarts water
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method

  • In a bowl, combine flour, basil and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in eggs and cold water; mix until dough is smooth. In a large kettle, bring water and remaining salt to a boil; reduce heat. With a rubber spatula, press dough through a colander into simmering water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently so spaetzle do not stick together. Drain; toss with butter.
