German-Style Egg Noodles, also known as spaetzle, are a traditional German dish that is easy to make and perfect for a comfort meal. They can be served alone as a main dish or as a side dish with your favorite protein. The noodles have an irregular shape, and the surface is slightly rough which helps the sauce to cling well. They're a hearty dish that is perfect for cold winter evenings, and they pair perfectly with a rich, creamy sauce or crispy bacon. If you've never had German-style egg noodles before, it's time to give them a try!

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and whole egg together until well combined.
2.	In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3.	Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with water and continuing to mix until dough forms.
4.	On a floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5.	Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
6.	Divide the dough into portions and roll out each portion into a thin sheet.
7.	Cut the sheets into long, thin noodles.
8.	Boil the noodles in salted water for 5-7 minutes or until tender.
9.	Drain the noodles and serve hot with your choice of toppings.
