Spaetzle are a little German noodle that is quite easy to make. It is very handy to have a Spaetzle press of course but I have used a colander as well. Traditionally they were made using a wooden board and a wooden knife.  The dough was firmer and you cut them off the board into the boiling water. More work and requires a little expertise to get them even. It is truly worth the effort.  I usually make a huge batch and if I have any leftovers I will freeze them. That is seldom as everyone loves them. 

Ingredients:

100g Emmer (Faro) whole not ground
Grind speed 10/1 minute, set aside in seperate bowl 100g Gruyere cheese
