For a richer flavor, try using milk instead of water. A spaetzle maker makes the process much easier, but a potato ricer or even a colander with large holes can work in a pinch. Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the spaetzle; work in batches to prevent sticking. The ice bath is crucial for preventing the spaetzle from becoming mushy.
