Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Vegetarian, simple, using leftovers

Preheat oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat), place oven rack on the middle shelf. Finely dice the onion and add to an ovenproof pan with the butter. Trim and finely slice the leek. Finely slice or grate the cheese. Heat the pan with the butter and onions and sauté until translucent, then add the leek. Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry until the leek is golden yellow. Then add the spaetzle and mix everything well. Turn off the heat and sprinkle everything with the cheese. Bake in the hot oven for about 15 minutes. A leaf salad, for example, goes well with this.
