Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup milk
5 large eggs
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 quarts water
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and five tablespoons oil until smooth, then whisk milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined.
  • Bring the water to a boil in a large pot; add salt. Working in batches, pass batter through a potato ricer fitted with a 1/8-inch-hole blade into the water (or push through large holes of a colander with a rubber spatula). Cook until spaetzle float to the top, about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a colander. Repeat until all batter is used.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are more flavorful and tender than frozen or canned beans.
  • Trim the green beans properly: Trim the stem ends of the green beans, but leave the tail ends intact. This will help the beans stay crisp during cooking.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help the green beans cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Overcrowding the skillet will prevent the green beans from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the green beans over medium heat: Cooking the green beans over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Season the green beans to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served immediately after cooking.
