Noodles & Co adds asparagus, gluten-free noodle to menu

April 10, 2013

The first signs of spring are budding at Noodles & Company, where three new seasonal items are now on the menu.

The new dishes include:

Garden Pesto Sauté: Also referred to as "spring in a bowl," this dish has fresh asparagus in a light, lemon Genovese pesto combined with red bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, pecans, feta and spinach atop a new gluten-free fusilli noodle. A regular-sized portion includes three servings of vegetables, 15 grams of protein and has 590 calories.

Springtime Flatbread: A crispy flatbread topped with fresh asparagus, mushrooms, melted Parmesan cheese and crispy bacon.

Asparagus Stack: A side of asparagus spears topped with feta cheese and bacon crumbles accompanied with a wedge of lemon.

"The fresh, light flavor and hearty texture of asparagus is perfect for these new spring dishes," said Tessa Stamper, R.D., director of culinary. "Customization is the cornerstone of our menu so we encourage guests to add asparagus and substitute our new gluten-free noodle to any dish."

The Garden Pesto Sauté is $8.50 for a regular-sized dish, and the Springtime Flatbread appetizer and the Asparagus Stack are $2.99 each. All three asparagus dishes are available at all Noodles & Company restaurants for a limited time only.
