Noodles & Company Roasted Garlic Cream Tortelloni
Cheese tortelloni in garlic cream sauce with spinach, mushrooms, and parmesan 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 layers three-cheese tortelloni, roasted garlic cream sauce, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, and parmesan, and several parts run high.
-
The cheese and sauce lead it — The three-cheese tortelloni and parmesan are aged cheeses that carry histamine, and the garlic cream sauce is high and can block DAO, the enzyme that clears histamine.
-
Spinach and mushrooms add to it — Spinach runs high and the mushrooms sit moderate, so even leaving off one item wouldn't bring it down much.
A butter-based noodle without the cheese fillings and spinach would be a gentler pick.
