Ingredients:-

  • 4 portions of Spaetzle, cooked as per packet
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more

Method:-

  • Remove from the pan to a serving platter and set aside while you cook the mushrooms.
  • Set the skillet back over high heat and add a little more olive oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the thyme, mushrooms and garlic and saute until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
