Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
3 cups (packed) baby spinach leaves
2 cups thinly sliced radicchio
1 lemon, halved

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine flour and next 6 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk eggs and broth in small bowl to blend. Gradually stir egg mixture into dry ingredients (batter will be loose).

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Place rimmed baking sheet close by.

    Step 3

    Working with 1/2 cup batter at a time and using flexible rubber spatula, press spaetzle batter through 1/4-inch-wide holes of spaetzle maker or colander. Boil until tender, about 3 minutes. Using skimmer, lift spaetzle from pot. Drain; place on baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until butter browns, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add spaetzle; sauté until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and radicchio; toss until wilted, about 3 minutes. Squeeze some lemon juice over spaetzle. Season with salt and pepper.
