Method

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. 


Have ready a fine strainer and a bowl of cold water.


In a blender, combine spinach, milk, egg, oil and nutmeg; blend until spinach is puréed. 


Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl. 


Stir in spinach mixture. 


Spoon batter into a 1-gallon zip-close bag. 


Fold top of bag over and work mixture into one corner of bag. 


Use scissors to snip off just the very tip of that corner; then very gently squeeze bag to extrude about one-third of the mixture into the boiling water, making thin noodles. 


Cook until noodles float and firm up, about 1 minute. 


Lift spaetzle out with the strainer and transfer to the bowl of cold water to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.


Drain spaetzle. 


When ready to serve, melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. 


Add spaetzle and cook, tossing frequently, until spaetzle just begins to brown.
