Using a spaetzle board and scraper, scrape the spaetzle from the dough into boiling salted water and cook until they float to the top. Remove and dip briefly in cold water.

Peel the onions and cut them into fine rings. Fry in a pan with oil. Remove.

Rinse the parsley, spin dry and fry in the remaining fat of the pan.

Arrange the spaetzle on plates and drape the roasted onions and fried parsley on top.
