The traditional Spätzle is served as a meaty and rich dish or sometimes as the main dish. It can also be dropped into soups or made into a cheesy pasta. Originally, this delicacy comes from Baden-Württemberg, but you can find this lovely eatable in any Swabian restaurant with an excellent service of regional wine.
