German Meatballs & Spaetzle

 Warren E. (Manitoba) says:
I made this dish last night for the first time and liked it very much. I didn't have a press for the spaetzle and used a colander (this was very challenging) added a bit of extra milk to increase the flowability and made it work it turned out good. I was surprised with the caraway seed and the dimension it added, my family said they would like to have this again. Would I change anything? May add a few more onions in the sauce as I love onions.
