Step 1
Cook the 12 oz spaetzle in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 2 cups sauerkraut and 1 tsp caraway seeds to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauerkraut is heated through and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the 2 cups broccoli florets and 2 tbsp water to the skillet. Cover and steam until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the cooked spaetzle to the skillet. Season with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
