Great recipe! This is a great way to fix noodles, and we certainly enjoyed it. We substituted egg noodles for spaetzle and gruyere for emmenthaler. Made for ZWT6

I helped my mom make this with our pork roast. It reminded me of our recent trip to Europe, and was good tasting. Some of our family was looking for the traditional spaetzle and gravy, but this is a nice change up!

My grocery store didn't have spaetzle, so I used egg noodles. I also used Swiss cheese and 2 tsp dried chives. It turned out very nice and my 14yo step-son said, "You should make this more often." And he "hates" onions! lol. Reviewed for ZWT4.
