Ingredients

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup quick-cooking polenta or finely ground yellow cornmeal

3 large eggs

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup fromage blanc or pureed ricotta cheese

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Whisk together flour, polenta, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together eggs, milk, and fromage blanc with a mixer on medium speed. Reduce speed to low; whisk in flour mixture. Raise speed to medium-high; whisk until thick and gooey, about 2 minutes.

Working in batches and using a rubber spatula, gradually press batter through a large-holed colander into boiling water. Boil until spaetzle float to top, about 1 minute; scoop out using a fine sieve. Rinse under cold water; drain.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add spaetzle; season with salt and pepper. Brown, tossing often, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; toss in dill.
