Ingredients

1 kg spaetzle, from the refrigerated counter
1 liter milk, low in fat
400 g processed cheese, with herbs
2 tablespoon, leveled vegetable stock, instant
50 g parmesan, rated
lots pepper, from the mill
250 g cooked ham

Instructions

Heat the milk with processed cheese, stock powder, Parmesan and pepper over full flame while stirring until almost boiling. Turn off the plate and cover and let it stand for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time so that nothing begins to stick.
In the meantime, cut the ham slices into 1 cm squares and add to the sauce.
Add spaetzle / knöpfle / noodles, heat again until almost boiling, stir more often. Let it steep for 10 minutes on the lowest possible flame with the lid on, add seasoning if necessary.
A crunchy, light vegetable and / or leaf salad with a clear dressing tastes good with it.
