We're traveling north of Italy for this dish, which is often referred to as Germany's version of macaroni and cheese. It's made with homemade egg noodles and Emmentaler, a type of Swiss cheese. Many reviewers suggest adding bacon to the recipe, which eliminates the need for butter, as you can use the bacon fat instead. "This recipe is better than any I had in Germany or Austria. My husband loved it (he grew up in Germany eating tons of spaetzle) as did everybody else, including the kids," says reviewer jalexandropoulos.

Italian Sausage Spaghetti

"This is my favorite method of making Italian sausage spaghetti. By browning the sausages first and then cooking them in the sauce at a long, slow simmer, the sausage is loaded with flavor and firm, but tender--almost meatball-like in texture. And we hardly need any seasonings because the long cook time allows the sauce to get infused with all the sausage-y goodness," says creator Chef John.
