Biergarten Spatzle is a traditional German dish that is popular in beer gardens or Biergartens. It is usually served as a side dish to accompany sausages, meatballs, or stews. Spatzle is a type of soft egg noodle that is similar in texture to Italian noodles, but it has a unique shape that resembles miniature pieces of pasta. The dish is simple to make and can be customized by adding grated cheese or fried onions on top.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Add all-purpose flour, semolina flour, salt, and water to the eggs. Mix well to form a dough.
2.	Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
3.	Place a coarse sieve or colander over the boiling water.
4.	Working with small batches, press the dough through the sieve into the water, using a spatula or spatzle maker.
5.	Let the spatzle cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
6.	Use a slotted spoon to transfer the spatzle to a colander.
7.	Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the spatzle in the butter until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
8.	Add parsley and toss to coat. Serve hot!
