For Green Eggs and Spam noodles bring to mind Tampopo ramen, but the ultimate decision is to make something different Chinese BBQ pork salad with shattered glass noodles. Salad, noodle and entree all in one.

Another step by step recipe is Blog from our Kitchen, who shares Chicken Noodle Soup Asian style with homemade noodles. Check out the length of those noodles!
Weekly Dish comes up with a unique combination, Avocado and Sun-dried Tomato Fettucine, and it's got bacon in it so you know it must be good.

Brett of In Praise of Sardines couldn't resist the tiny turnips with greens and what better way to use both than with little ears of pasta, orecchiette? Orecchiete with Baby Turnips and Greens is also a healthy dish for those of you looking for good tasting and good for you noodles.

From Too Many Chefs, two noodle dishes. From Meg, Sweet Potato Pasta with Sage and Butter, this one has the sweet potato right in the dough, ingenious and I won't tell Marcella. And from Barrett a Pasta Egg, as opposed to an egg pasta, this one has to be seen to be believed!
Foodatista created a noodle with more "p's" than I thought possible. It's called Black Pepper Tagliatelle with Parsnips and Pancetta but it also has parmigiana. Heidi calls it a pasta that "bites back".
