Celebrate National Noodle Month With These Yummy Recipes

Did you know that March is National Noodle Month? If you’re like most people, you probably did not! Now that you know, how will you make the most of it? We’ve got enough noodle recipes for you to make them a feature in your menus throughout the entire month.

But first, how about some noodle trivia? First made by 13^th Century bakers, noodles were originally fashioned into symbolic shapes like stars and birds. According to U.S. Federal law, pasta must contain at least 5.5 percent egg solids to be considered a noodle; noodles are almost the only dry pasta shapes that contain eggs. Noodle consumption goes up in cold weather, and also increases during Lent, when people are opting for meatless meals.

• If you’re choosing seafood instead of meat, there are some great noodle options. How about Spaghetti with Red Clam Sauce or Shrimp Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce.

• There are plenty of pasta dishes with an Asian flair. Try this Cold Soba Noodle Salad, this Toshikoshi Soba soup, Teriyaki Noodles, Homemade Ramen, or these Sesame Peanut Noodles.

• Incorporate a green noodle dish into your St. Patrick’s Day celebration. How about some South American Green Noodles with Spinach, Basil and Cheese or these easy and delicious Pesto Noodles? You could also incorporate the unofficial vegetable of St. Patrick’s Day, in a dish like this Cabbage and Noodles.

• What’s better on a cold day than a warm and tasty bowl of noodle soup? Chicken Noodle Soup is a classic, of course, but it’s not the only option. You’ve got plenty of choices, including Chicken Parm Soup, Swedish Meatball Soup, Coconut Curry Noodle Soup, Italian Noodle Soup, and this hearty Beefy Tomato Soup. There’s even a Vegan Noodle Soup!

• If you’re a fan of the slow cooker, we’ve got some noodle dishes for you, too. How about Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash Noodles or this Slow Cooker Beef and Noodles dish?
