German Maultaschen Dumplings Recipe

Italians and germans both have meat dumplings like ravioli or maultaschen and potato dumplings like gnocchi or schupfnudeln. Spinach is added when the maultaschen (literally "Feedbags" But probably named after the city of maulbronn) are eaten on holy thursday before easter. These dumplings are part of many traditional german celebrations. The dough for maultaschen is egg noodle dough and the filling reflects the german influence of mustard, bacon, and marjoram flavors. It's not exactly easy to make, but with a bit of patience, you'll have a complete german meal.
