Freiburg market sauerkraut and pasta

Tam West

I once ate a version of this in the market in the German city of Freiburg. They used spätzle, a fresh German pasta, but any short pasta is fine. It looks rather unassuming but tastes great. Read more on how to make sauerkraut and ways to use it.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp	Butter
400 g	Pasta, use any short pasta, boiled in plenty of salted water until tender to the bite. Drain well and cool. (Main)
1 ½ cups	Sauerkraut, tightly-packed
200 g	Smoked havarti, grated
2 Tbsp	Chopped parsley

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and add the pasta and sauerkraut. Stir fry for about 4 minutes or until everything is hot.
2. Remove from the heat and add the cheese and parsley, mix well and serve immediately
