June 12, 2023
Noodles & Company has debuted four stuffed pasta dishes in select markets, including Chicago, Colorado Springs and Columbus.
The fast casual chain found meat filling options to rank high with fan tasting panels, according to a press release.
The stuffed pasta options include:
- Chicken Prosciutto Tortelloni with Smoked Gouda: Chicken and prosciutto stuffed in black pepper tortelloni with roasted mushrooms and spinach, topped with a smoked gouda cheese sauce, parmesan cheese and parsley.
- 3-Cheese Tortelloni Caprese with Grilled Chicken: 3-Cheese tortelloni, tomato and spinach sautéed in a flavorful balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil, roasted garlic and topped with grilled chicken, parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Spicy Tomato Cream Sausage Ravioli: Italian sausage and cheese stuffed ravioli sautéed in a spicy tomato cream sauce and topped with parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Garlic Cream Bacon Carbonara Ravioli: Applewood smoked bacon, four cheeses and pea stuffed ravioli sautéed with spinach in a light roasted garlic and onion cream sauce and topped with parmesan cheese and parsley.
"When we introduced our original 3-Cheese Tortelloni option in 2021, it quickly became our top-performing test item ever and has remained a guest favorite since becoming a mainstay on our national menu," Nick Graff, executive chef and vice president of culinary at Noodles & Company, said in the release. "Since then, rewards members and guests have asked for more and we're happy to deliver. Our culinary team immediately went to work researching and developing new stuffed pasta innovations that included pairings our guests crave, like chicken prosciutto, Italian sausage, smoked gouda and bacon carbonara. We are proud to have something on the menu for everyone, and now there's even more for our guests to enjoy with these new stuffed pastas."
Additionally, Noodles recently introduced an "always on" perk, called Extra Goodness, to its loyalty program that gives rewards members the ability to redeem new freebies and discounts daily.
