This was easy to make and could easily be adjusted for 1 person. Not sure if I would make again but if I do I will use cornstarch instead of flour. Mine just didn't turn out real smooth and creamy. <br/>The flour made it kinda of grainy. Glad I tried it though. Made for I Recommend Red White & Blue.

Oh ellie, this is such a great recipe! It is creamy, cheesy and delish! YUM!<br/>I used whole spelt spaetzle, reduced the cheese a tad and added some garlic and onion powder to the sauce. Such a great keeper, Ill make this one again for sure!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing it here with us!<br/>Made and reviewed for Newest Zaar Tag February 2011.
