Vegan Spaetzle-Carrot-Gratin à la Vegusto

Homemade noodles (spaetzle) without egg made simple: For the spaetzle dough you just need flour, salt and soya milk. Together with Vegusto's No-Moo Sauce and Sandwich Slices this gratin will be a meal to remember.

Preparation

To prepare the spaetzle add the flour, starch, soy drink, salt, cayenne pepper and nutmeg in a bowl and whisk until no lumps are visible. Continue stirring until a thick, viscous dough is formed. The dough is done when "bubbles" begin to form. It must separate from the side of the bowl.
Season with salt and cayenne pepper, cover and set aside for about 20 minutes.
In the meantime, cut carrots into ½ cm thick slices and together with the vegetable broth and thyme cook for a few minutes until soft. Discard water.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 cup of the dough at a time in a colander with large holes; use a rubber spatula to push the dough through the holes and into the boiling water. (Or use a spaetzle press).
As soon as the spaetzle float to the surface of the water let it simmer for a while longer and then take them out with a slotted spoon to another colander. Rinse in cold water.
Grease a gratin dish (20 x 35 cm) with margarine.
Cut the vegan Sandwich Slices into 1 cm stripes. Roughly grate the No-Moo Piquant.
Mix the spaetzle, carrots, Exra Sandwich Slices and the No-Moo Piquant and place everything into the greased gratin dish.
Season the No-Moo Sauce with the paprika and lemon juice and pour over the spaetzle.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes.
