Peter's Käsespätzle
I'm visiting my uncle in Germany right now and today he showed me how to make his version of Käsespätzle or spätzle with cheese! Spätzle are a kind of egg noodle from southwest Germany. This is a really popular way to prepare them.
You can use packaged spätzle (should be easily available in US, too, in international sections or shops), or make your own - I have a recipe in my profile if you search :)

German Lentil Stew with Spätzle Noodles (Linsen mit Spätzle) German Lentil Stew with Spätzle Noodles (Linsen mit Spätzle)
German comfort food! Linsen und Spätzle is a local dish from Southern Germany in the Swabia/Black Forest region. This is my mom's recipes and probably my most favorite German dish ever. I included how to make homemade Spätzle, but you can also use packaged Spätzle (sometimes you can find in German/international section of the grocery store) or other egg noodles. Homemade Spätzle are so much fluffier and delicious though, so I recommend giving it a shot!

Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi with Sage Butter Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi with Sage Butter
Eating gnocchi on the 29th of each month is a tradition in my native Argentina. My mother used to make many kinds of gnocchi: potato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, even baked semolina gnocchi. They could be accompanied with sauces such as marinara, bechamel, bolognese, pesto, or a combination. Simple, quick, and delicious. Today I ate half the gnocchi I had made with butter and sage. On the 29th I’ll have the other half with marinara sauce.#gnocchi #ricotta #pasta #butter #sage #lunch #dinner #meal #quick #easy #Italian #Italy
