The Germans sure know how to do comfort food. Originally from the Swabia region of southern Germany, spätzle is now a firm favourite throughout the German-speaking world and beyond. And it’s easy to see why, with the carb-heavy content of the pillowy dumplings and the absolute minimum effort required to prepare them. This recipe for gluten free spätzle uses gluten free flour to make the noodle dough, but gets the same, traditional heart-warming result. Serve as a side to meat casseroles or on its own with oodles of creamy cheese sauce.

- Push the dough through the spätzle press directly into the boiling water.
- Boil the spätzle until it rises to the surface.
- Drain and rinse in cold water.
- Finally, serve the spätzle with a bacon-cream-sauce.
