Spaetzle in sage brown butter is a classic German dish that is both delicious and easy to make. The spaetzle, which are small, dumpling-like noodles, are cooked in a flavorful brown butter sauce made with sage and other herbs. This dish is often served as a main course with a side of salad or vegetables, but it can also be served as a side dish. The combination of the tender spaetzle, the crispy sage, and the nutty brown butter creates a dish that is both satisfying and comforting. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily create this delicious dish in your own kitchen.

HERBED SPAETZLE
Steps:
- In a large bowl combine 3/4 cup water, the eggs, salt and flour. Whisk well, until the dough is soft and sticky.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When the butter begins to foam, add the garlic, chives, parsley and marjoram. Cook until the butter begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the white wine and allow to reduce for a minute. Keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Transfer the spaetzle batter to a colander with small holes. Set the colander above the boiling water and, using a spatula or bench scraper, press the batter through the holes and directly into the water. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spaetzle float to the surface. Drain and immediately add the spaetzle to the pan with the butter sauce. Over high heat, toss the spaetzle and the sauce together for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the spaetzle sizzles. Sprinkle with some grated Parmesan and serve.
SPäTZLE (AKA SPAETZLE)
Apparently spätzle translates to little swallows in German, which makes a lot of sense when you consider their shape. These micro-dumplings cook in a just a few minutes, and are great plain with browned butter or topped with slowly braised meat.

Steps:
- Place flour, egg, salt, cayenne, cream fraiche, and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk together until batter drips slowly off the whisk. If batter seems too thin, add a bit more flour; if too thick, add a bit more milk. You can test the thickness using the smooth side of a cheese grater with fairly large holes. If a dollop of the batter does not drip through the grating holes, it's the right consistency.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to push a spoonful of batter through the holes of the smooth side of the grater into the simmering water.
- When dumplings rise to the surface of the water, they are done. This will take just a few minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon, and repeat in batches with remaining batter.

Steps:
- Combine flour and next 6 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk eggs and broth in small bowl to blend. Gradually stir egg mixture into dry ingredients (batter will be loose).
- Meanwhile, bring large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Place rimmed baking sheet close by.
- Working with 1/2 cup batter at a time and using flexible rubber spatula, press spaetzle batter through 1/4-inch-wide holes of spaetzle maker or colander. Boil until tender, about 3 minutes. Using skimmer, lift spaetzle from pot. Drain; place on baking sheet.
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until butter browns, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add spaetzle; sauté until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and radicchio; toss until wilted, about 3 minutes. Squeeze some lemon juice over spaetzle. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use a large enough pot to cook the spaetzle so that it has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the spaetzle. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Stir the spaetzle occasionally while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking together.
- When the spaetzle is cooked, drain it well and then rinse it with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the spaetzle from becoming mushy.
- To make the sage brown butter, use a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and sage leaves and cook until the butter is browned and the sage is fragrant.
- Add the cooked spaetzle to the skillet with the sage brown butter and toss to coat.
- Serve the spaetzle immediately, garnished with additional sage leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
