Noodles & Company Crispy Chicken Bacon Alfredo
Fettuccine in alfredo with parmesan chicken, bacon, spinach, and montamore cheese is high in histamine.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
This dish brings fettuccine, alfredo sauce, parmesan-crusted chicken, bacon, spinach, broccoli, herbs, and montamore cheese together, and several parts run high.
-
Cheeses and chicken lead it — The alfredo sauce, aged montamore, and parmesan all carry histamine from aging, and the parmesan-crusted chicken is high too.
-
Spinach adds more — Spinach runs high on its own, and the fettuccine sits moderate, so the level stays up across the bowl.
A butter-based noodle without the aged cheeses and spinach would be a gentler choice.
