  • 250 g Boiled potatoes
  • 200 g Finished spinach
  • 2 piece Eggs (L)
  • 1 piece Garlic clove grated
  • 100 g Wheat flour type 550
  • Salt and pepper

The mushroom foam

  • 1 piece Fresh shallot
  • 1 piece Butter
  • 2 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon Dried porcini mushrooms
  • 0,25 liter Vegetable broth *
  • 150 ml Cream

...also

  • 3 tablespoon Freshly grated Parmesan
  • Basil leaves

Instructions
 

The spaetzle

  • Finely grate the cooked and cold potatoes. Mix the spinach - it was leftover from the day before - with the potatoes.
  • Add eggs, grated garlic and flour and stir everything into a batter. If necessary, season with salt and pepper. It should have the consistency of batter. Let it soak for about an hour.
  • Bring the water to the boil, salt it and use the spaetzle slicer to drive the dough into the water. Cook the spaetzle for about 1 minute and then drain over a sieve.

The mushroom foam

  • Chop the dried porcini mushrooms and soak in boiling water for about 30 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the shallot, heat the butter and oil in a saucepan and sauté the shallot cubes in it. Drain the mushrooms, discard the water and add the mushrooms to the shallots and steam them as well.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and reduce while stirring until the mushrooms are soft.
  • Now fill this mixture into a tall container, add the cream and beat with the hand blender until a creamy sauce is formed.
  • Put them back on the stove to keep them warm.
  • Fill the mushroom foam into a deep, preheated plate, spread one or two tablespoons of spaetzle on top, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with a basil leaf.
  • Note 10: If there is no leftover spinach, take the specified amount of spinach and season the dough. (Nutmeg, pepper, salt, garlic etc.)
