  1. I’ve heard of this, but never tried it. It’s interesting how it’s made. It’s not your traditional way of making noodles. You did a pretty awesome job on yours!!

  2. My German friend used to make it all the time and once in a while she would give me a plate. Delicioso y sabroso. I am glad that you know how to make it now. I am adding this one to my wish list.

  3. What is a hotel pan??

  4. A large baking sheet.

  5. Tomato sauce and parm on German noodles??! Butter and a little fresh nutmeg for me. Grandma used a ricer to push the dough into the water. I use a colander.

    Love your blog!
