BROOMFIELD, Colo., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Noodles & Company (NASDAQ: NDLS), known for serving classic noodle, Zoodle and Caulifloodle dishes from around the world, today announced that it is testing new ravioli and tortelloni dishes at 21 locations across Colorado, Illinois, and Ohio. Expanding its menu with even more flavors and options, the new stuffed pastas from Noodles & Company offer guests elevated choices with flavorful and fresh sauce pairings at an unmatched value. Each stuffed pasta dish is filled with premium ingredients and sautéed with fresh vegetables, creating a delicious yet lighter twist on the usual stuffed pasta.
"Our new ravioli and tortelloni dishes offer a fresh take on the recipes that our guests love, loaded with specialty ingredients such as caramelized onions, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses in the tortelloni, and a blend of ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano, and mozzarella cheeses with a light touch of breadcrumbs in the ravioli," said Nick Graff, executive chef at Noodles & Company. "We truly have something on the menu for everyone, and with these new additions, there's even more for our guests to enjoy."
For 25 years, Noodles & Company has led the industry in innovating its menu with food and flavor trends.
