This traditional pasta is a regional delicacy in Alsace that is so good, it couldn’t stay just there. Grand Mere pastas is a family run business that makes only quality products form the finest ingredients. These long winding strings of spaetzle are made in accordance with Alsatian tradition with a mix of durum wheat semolina and seven eggs per kilo, for a mix that is pressed through a colander into this shape and dropped into boiling water to be cooked.

Top with a pat of butter and a dash of salt for a simple but scrumptious meal or serve with fresh salmon or foie gras. Delicious in a gooey gratin oozing with luscious cheese, this is also fantastic with sauteed onions and mushrooms.
