Spätzle with Cabbage and Bacon

Instructions

1. Heat a dollop of butter or olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the spätzle on medium-high heat for 10 minutes until they are starting to brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Add the bacon bits and diced onion to the pan and fry for 3 minutes. Add the chopped cabbage and fry for another 3 minutes. Add the cream and 50 mL of warm water, cover with a lid and simmer on low temperature for about 15 minutes.
3. Add the spätzle back into the pan and stir in alongside the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with roasted hazelnuts and chives sprinkled on top.
