Finely chop the onions and fry in a little hot butter until translucent. Add the minced meat. Once lightly browned, deglaze with the 1/4 liter of stock. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the tomato paste and simmer for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and finely chop the parsley and add it to the sauce. Pour the sauce and spaetzle into a greased baking dish and mix. Spread a cup of cream over the top. Cut the Gouda slices into strips and arrange them on top to form a lattice. Sprinkle small knobs of butter on top. Bake in a hot oven at 200 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes.
