Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 eggs
5 cups water, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 (13 ounce) packages kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-size pieces

Directions

Mix flour, basil, parsley, garlic salt, and pepper together in a large bowl, and make a well in the center of the mixture.
Whisk eggs and 1 cup water together in a medium bowl. Pour into the well in the flour. Stir until well combined; spaetzle dough will be thick and sticky.
Bring remaining 4 cups water to a boil in a pot over high heat; add salt.
Meanwhile, place spaetzle dough onto a cutting board. Slice off tiny dollops of dough, about the size of a pretzel stick, using a sharp knife. Drop into boiling water and cook until they float to the top of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer dollops to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne and stir until sugar is melted, about 1 minute. Add kielbasa and cooked spaetzle to butter mixture; stir over medium-high heat until kielbasa is warmed, 4 to 5 minutes.
