Freeze Spaetzle: This Is The Best Way To Do It

Spaetzle can be frozen just like pasta. You then have the pasta ready for quick preparation. In this article, we explain everything you need to know about this.

Freeze spaetzle: instructions

First, pre-cook the spaetzle as usual. Then it continues as follows:

1. Rinse the hot spaetzle with cold water.
2. Drain the pasta well. Then spread them out on a board.
3. Place the board in the freezer to pre-freeze. The spaetzle must be pre-frozen for at least a quarter of an hour so that they do not form a lumpy mass later.
4. Then put the spaetzle in freezer bags. Seal them well. Squeeze out the air first. The spaetzle can be kept in this way for up to half a year.
5. Tip: If you have bought ready-made spaetzle, simply place them in the freezer in their packaging.

How to defrost the spaetzle again

Defrosting the spaetzle is very simple:

1. Put the frozen spaetzle directly into boiling salted water.
2. Avoid thawing in the microwave, refrigerator, or at room temperature. In this case, the spaetzle forms a lump.
3. After cooking, put the drained spaetzle in a pan. Fry them with some butter.
