Nutritional values
Noodles and cheese are appealing to most children (and parents). In this delicious vegetable-spätzle combination, kids get the taste they crave plus a generous portion of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B1, B6, folic acid and the mineral magnesium.
The casserole with whole wheat spaetzle is particularly hearty and rich in fiber. If your family turns up their nose at whole wheat pasta, cook a mix of normal and whole wheat varieties.
