Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaetzle
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 6 oz ham
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 12 oz spaetzle in salted boiling water until they float and are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and 8 oz sliced mushrooms, cooking until golden and softened, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 6 oz diced ham and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through and slightly browned at the edges.

  4. 4

    Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked spaetzle to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until everything is hot and well combined.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley before serving.
