Noodles & Company rolled out a new signature dish to its Colorado menu–Spaghetti & Meatballs. This marks the first permanent noodles menu addition to the Noodles & Company line up since 2004 and comes on the heels of the company’s 200th restaurant opening last month.

“At Noodles & Company, we’re always striving to create more flavorful, balanced dishes from around the world and were looking for a new signature dish for our guests to enjoy,” says Ross Kamens, Noodles & Company executive chef. “Our new Spaghetti & Meatballs is a hearty, classic dish that is sure to become a family 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.”

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 $5.25 and a regular is $7.25. Noodles & Company plans to introduce the dish system wide in early spring.
