Food Network Noodle Favorites

Noodles & Company, known for its globally inspired noodle bowls, has partnered with Food Network, the authority in all things flavor, to unveil four entrees that have been crowned “Food Network Favorites.” This Food Network noodle favorites partnership celebrates the creativity, culinary craftsmanship, and value that Noodles & Company is known for, now curated by some of the most trusted experts in the industry.

In March, Noodles unveiled its reinvented menu, featuring new flavors and reimagined classics at the forefront.

Through this dedication to bold, expertly crafted dishes, Noodles is not only delighting longtime fans but also attracting new guests and new fans.

“As the authority on all things flavor, Food Network is always looking to highlight delicious food finds for our fans, and this partnership is another way to deliver on that mission,” said Lauren Burack, senior vice president, marketing, Food Network & HGTV. “Noodles & Company excels in crafting delicious, noodle-focused dishes, and the new menu reflects that, but these four stood out as clear favorites to our team, showcasing the perfect combination of craveable taste and incredible value.”

Hand-picked by Food Network, the Food Network noodle favorites include:

  • Basil Pesto Cavatappi: A fan-favorite made even better, now featuring more of its signature basil pesto sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, and aged Parmesan for deeper flavor in every forkful.
  • Buffalo Chicken Ranch Mac & Cheese: Elbow noodles in creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce, topped with parmesan-crusted chicken, tangy Buffalo sauce, green onions, crispy onions, and a drizzle of ranch. A flavor explosion that had the pros coming back for seconds.
  • Rigatoni Rosa with Parmesan Chicken: Reimagined with heartier rigatoni noodles, a richer spicy tomato cream sauce, slow-roasted tomatoes, and 18-month aged Parmesan. A comforting classic turned up.
  • Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi: Fettuccine noodles in a savory garlic butter sauce with sautéed shrimp, cherry tomatoes, spinach, artichoke hearts, and a splash of lemon. Fresh, light, and full of vibrant summer flavor.
