When you think “noodles,” there’s probably a specific recipe or collection of recipes that comes to mind. But noodles are a pantry heavy-hitter precisely because they can be used in so many different ways. Add them to a soup, sub rice out for them in a stir fry or curry, toss them in any number of endless sauces, the possibilities go on and on. That versatility made them an A+ candidate for, you guessed it, our non-boring recipe series.
