Unlike making standard semolina pasta, there is no kneading, no rolling, no pasta machine and no cutting. You'll just need your bowl of spaetzle dough, a pot of boiling water and something to form your noodles as they drop into the water. If you sift the flour, there's less chance of lumps but I never sift. I also use a Kitchen Aid mixer to mix up the dough and that helps speed up the process and gets rid of most of the lumps.
