Winter. Asparagus. Summer. Fall.

Noodles & Company offers limited-time menu item using fresh and in-season produce

Ah, spring is finally here. The snow has melted, cute little bunny rabbits are hopping around, and pollen allergies are abuzz. (Gesundheit!) In the culinary world, springtime means one thing – asparagus is back in season. Although you can buy asparagus year round in grocery stores, right now is the peak time of year to enjoy the U.S. crop of this popular vegetable.

Despite its popularity, ironically most people don’t know how to select asparagus or the best way to prepare it. Noodles & Company (http://noodles.com/) is here to help. Visit http://noodles.com/asparagus to learn about asparagus selection and cooking tips – for example avoid woody asparagus at all costs!

If you don’t want to go through that effort, Noodles will make it simple for you. Now through early June, Noodles-goers can add asparagus to any of their favorite dishes or try the new limited-time menu item Asparagus & Lemon Linguine. This light, flavorful dish is full of spring zing with fresh asparagus, crunchy snap peas, sautéed red onions and mushrooms tossed with fresh-squeezed lemon, chopped basil and topped with feta cheese. Trust us, it’s good.

If you don’t trust us, trust someone else. Noodles & Company held a taste test to survey people what they thought of the new dish. Check out their feedback and more at noodles.com/asparagus.
