Goulash with Spätzle

Have you ever tried Goulash? Have you ever made one? I'm sure many people will say to the first yes, to the second no, not really. And when you ask how was it made, what ingredients were there, million varietes will surface with pepper, with garlic, with onion, with tomato, with tomato pure... 
The Hungarian cowboys made it simple: beef (not the best one), onion, lots of water and paprika. They would leave it for hours to boil and when they came from the fields a hot, good meal would await them. 
Today I'll give you my recipe, Goulash accompanied with Spätzle (a home made Hungarian pasta) it's easy to make and it can last for a few days in the fridge.
