Ingredients

2 large eggs
3/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

Place the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the water, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the flour with a rubber spatula. Mix well.
Put a large quantity of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add salt. Pour the spatzle mixture into a colander over the boiling water. Press the mixture through the holes of the colander with a rubber spatula or a large spoon. Cook briefly or until the noodles rise to the surface. Drain well. The spatzle could be made in advance.
To finish the spatzle, melt the butter in a skillet. Add the garlic and cook briefly. Do not brown. Add the spatzle, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss well until the spatzle is heated through. Serve immediately with chicken.
