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.
  • Heat remaining two tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans, saute until just tender. Add spaetzle, season with salt and pepper, and cook until heated through. Serve immediately; garnish with parsley.
