Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 eggs
1 ¾ cups water
4 cups water
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

Mix flour, basil, and onion powder in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk eggs and 1 3/4 cups water in another bowl; pour egg mixture into the well and stir until combined. Dough will be thick.
Bring 4 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a wide pot. Place part of the dough into a spaetzle press or potato ricer. Press dough into boiling water; cook and stir until pasta is tender, about 1 minutes. Remove pasta with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining dough.
