German Noodles

"Nudeln"

German noodles make kid friendly dinner recipes, especially the Cheese Spätzle recipe that's the German version of "Mac and Cheese".

My Mutti would often make various noodle and macaroni dishes, and other quick easy pasta recipes which we enjoyed when we came home for lunch on schooldays. They were economical dishes, often with just a bit of meat added that had been left over from dinner the night before.

Potatoes and dumplings are the most popular starch served with German meals throughout Germany. In southern Germany (is it because they're closer to Italy?) noodles are very common, especially the famous Spätzle.

Above are "Noodle Nests" which don't use noodles at all, but rather spaghetti, and ,yes, it is a German recipe. It's a fun casserole to make for company that you can make ahead and then pop it in the oven to bake just before you need it.

If you love noodles, the chances are you also love Italian pasta. If so, check out my friend Matt's Italian pasta recipes website, which is packed with tasty and simple-to-prepare dishes direct from his mamma-in-law's kitchen. Yummy.
