Spinach Spaetzle With Cheese Sauce
This creamy Spinach Spaetzle with Cheese Sauce only calls for 3 ingredients and is ready in just 5 minutes!Ultra cheesy and comforting, this is a great greener alternative to gnocchi and is just as delicious!
Ingredients
- 16 oz (450 g) fresh spinach Spaetzle (or regular fresh Spaetzle, they're in the fresh pasta section of your local grocery store)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
- 10 oz (280 g) high-quality blue cheese (get a super soft blue cheese that doesn't have much mold/green spots)
- Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the Spaetzle according to the package instructions. Usually, that involves filling a pot with water, bringing it to a boil and then adding the Spaetzle and cooking it until floating and tender (usually a minute). While you wait for the water to boil, make the sauce in step 2.
- Make the cheese sauce. In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the blue cheese and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break down the cheese and stir until a creamy sauce comes together. Toss the cooked Spaetzle into the sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storing Instructions: Store any leftovers covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Reheat until hot with a splash of milk or cream. Keep in mind that the Spaetzle might get softer and fall apart easily once reheated.
