noodle month

National Noodle Month (March):

Whether they’re fine, medium, wide or extra-wide, egg noodles conjure up

Noodles are a feel-good food. Not surprisingly, consumption of noodles increases by

classic types of pasta, the National Pasta Association (NPA) presents some delicious

dough into symbolic shapes, such as words, birds and stars. These “nudels”
were then baked and served as bread.
