Noodles & Company, the quick-casual, globally inspired noodle restaurant that serves a balanced menu of freshly sautéed Asian, Mediterranean and American cuisine, is introducing a new signature, comfort food dish to its Kansas City metro area menu–Spaghetti & Meatballs. This marks the first permanent noodles menu addition to the Noodles & Company lineup since 2004, and will be available at all Kansas City metro area Noodles & Company locations.

“At Noodles & Company, we’re always striving to create more flavorful, balanced dishes from around the world,” says Ross Kamens, Noodles & Company executive chef. “Our new Spaghetti & Meatballs is our take on a classic favorite. What really makes it special are the meatballs. Every dish is served with five baked meatballs that are a delicious blend of pork and beef with Italian herbs, parmesan and garlic. It’s very hearty and satisfying.”

The five meatballs are served over a bed of spaghetti noodles with a crushed tomato marinara sauce, available in regular or spicy, and are garnished with parmesan cheese. Meatballs also can be added to any of Noodles & Company’s 18 menu items and are recommended with Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, Penne Rosa or Mushroom Stroganoff.

The small Spaghetti & Meatballs is $5.95 and a regular is $7.25. To find a Noodles & Company in the Kansas City metro area near you, please visit www.noodles.com.
